Who Killed...?

The St. Aubin Street Massacre


Listen Later

Via: https://the-line-up.com/benny-evangelist-murders "On the quiet summer evening of July 3, 1929, Benny Evangelist and his family were brutally murdered in their residential Detroit home on St. Aubin Street, mutilated by an axe-wielding killer. His wife and four children were butchered while sleeping in their beds, while Benny himself was killed—and nearly decapitated—in his study. Evangelist was known as a carpenter, faith healer and, most intriguingly, a cult leader and author of a self-published religious text, The Oldest History of the World: Discovered by Occult Science."

Was this revenge?

Was this the occult?

Who killed the Evangelist family?
