James Ruppert: The Easter Sunday Massacre

About this episode

Easter Sunday, 1975. While the rest of Hamilton, Ohio, was hunting eggs and passing the honey-glazed ham, 41-year-old James Ruppert was in his bedroom calibrating a four-piece armory. In less than five minutes, 11 family members—including eight children—were executed in cold blood.

We’re diving into the details of the house on Minor Avenue, where the blood was so thick it dripped through the floorboards. From James’s pathetic "loser" manifesto and the $300,000 motive to the "half-insane" legal loophole that shocked the country, this is the story of the deadliest private-residence shooting in American history. We also dig into the local lore of the "indeltible" bloodstains still visible in the basement and the restless spirits that still haunt this quiet Ohio neighborhood.
