E171: James C Brown

(note: time stamps are without ads & may be off a little) This week Beth and Wendy discuss the case of James Cornelius Brown, aka the Backpage Killer, a black man convicted of killing four women in his home in Sterling Heights, Michigan. He is said to have lured the women to their deaths using the website Backpage.com. First, we dive into the setting (10:00), the killers early life (27:11) and the timeline (32:00).  Then, we get into the investigation & arrest (40:10), "Where are they now?" (57:18) followed by our takeaways and what we think made the perp snap (58:00).   As usual we close out the show with some tips on how not to get murdered and our shout outs (01:02:02).  This episode was researched & scripted by Minnie Williams. Thanks for listening! This is a weekly podcast and new episodes drop every Thursday, so until next time... look alive guys, it's crazy out there!
