About this Episode
The Smuttynose Island Murders of 1873
Jump To The AD-FREE Safe House Edition
Episode 476 explores a case would become one of the most sensational crimes of the American Gilded Age. It would produce a manhunt, a near-lynching, a jail break, and a hanging, among other tropes. It would haunt the New England coast for a century and a half, and it haunts it still. But before it was any of those things, it was a story about people who crossed an ocean looking for a better life, and for a few short years, found one.
