The Handsome Thrill Killers of 1928

Twisted Roots: A Genealogist’s True Crime Podcast

S2E4: In Atlanta, Georgia in the Fall of 1928, a brief crime spree leads to the death of two young clerks. The story of the handsome young killer will take us through an unexpected journey of wealth and privilege that will end in a surprising but perhaps familiar setting. Genealogist Dale Sheldon shares the story of the Handsome Thrill Killers of 1928, giving all of the details directly from the original source documentation.
This Thursday join Dale and his friend CT at Twisted Roots Live! At this YouTube event they will be discussing past episodes and will answer your questions through the chat. We'll see you there! Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptKU59Q7aso
