*Want episodes without ads? Join our Patreon!!* April is back with us this week and boy did she come prepared with a doozy of a case. Carl Panzram was a man who was doomed from the start. And those are HIS own words. At 5 he was a self proclaimed liar and thief. Abused during his childhood, by age 8 he was arrested for being drunk and disorderly. By 11 his mother had him sent to a reformatory school. This school was later notorious for torture, abuse, and cruelty. Leading him to seek his own revenge by burning down one of the buildings on campus at age 13. He was never caught. From the age of 14 until his death at age 39, Carl was abused by others and then decided to become the abuser instead of the abused. But not in a vigilante way. In the most heinous ways possible.
