Ep 8 - The Harpe Brothers: America's First Serial Killers
Who was the first Serial Killer? While we may never know that answer, we can tell you who the first recorded American Serial Killers are. Meet Micajah and Wiley Harpe - two brothers (or maybe cousins) born in North Carolina (or Scotland).
They traveled the Southern United States during and after the American Revolutionary War, pillaging, killing, burning things to the ground, and worse. They traveled with their captive 'wives' and the few children they let live. Historians believe that they killed over 50 people with a startling and gruesome MO.
But first, Robin gets a super secret surprise from Zoey on air and you get to hear Robin's genuine reaction. Also, in Something Southern, Robin and Zoey share their Famously Hot Takes! (Get it, the south? It's hot? Get it???)
