183: The Trunk Murders

Theresa and Leonide Moity were married to brothers in 1920's with both families living together in a small apartment to make ends meet. Times were hard, and when Theresa and Leonide revert to the oldest profession in the book to make ends meet, at least one of their husbands is not too pleased even for survival sake. What ensues goes down in history as one of New Orleans most brutal murders of the time, and yet the killer goes on to harm again and the story is shrouded now within the folklore of the "sausage ghost" used to entertain tourists but lets us not forget that two lives were tragically taken and concealed in a most gruesome way.
