Episode 53: The Lawson Family Murders

It’s the holiday season! We’re in 1929 and it’s Christmas time. Charles Lawson took his family into town to get new clothes and a family portrait, which was NOT normal for a family of their societal class. Then comes Christmas Day, and Charles brutally murdered his wife and 6 of his kids. The Christmas cake that Marie Lawson made that morning, the portrait of the family, and the mystery of the entire day’s events has lived on for years. There are so many theories and so many questions remain.
