E135: Tony Von Carruthers

Fruitloops: Serial Killers of Color

(note: time stamps are without ads & may be off a little)
This week Beth and Wendy discuss the case of Tony Von Carruthers, who, along with two other men, kidnapped, killed and buried alive three people in Memphis.
We dive into the setting (10:25), the killers early life (22:32) and the timeline (25:48). Then, we get into the investigation & arrest (38:06), "Where are they now?" (50:27) followed by our takeaways and what we think made the perp snap (55:31).
As usual we close out the show with some tips on how not to get murdered (01:00:05) and our shout outs (01:02:58).
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!
