The Wineville Chicken Coop Murders Part 1

This afternoon, Vanessa is bringing you a preview from another Crime House show: Murder: True Crime Stories, hosted by Carter Roy. In this episode, Carter traces the story of Gordon Stewart Northcott — a 19-year-old who, in 1926, convinced his parents to buy him three acres outside Los Angeles under the pretense of raising chickens. What he actually built there became one of the most disturbing crime scenes in California history. Part 1 covers Northcott's troubled childhood and the desert property where his violence would soon spiral out of control. 

Please note: this episode contains descriptions of sexual violence, torture, and murder, and may not be suitable for all audiences. For Part 2, follow Murder: True Crime Stories on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
