The Unsolved Murders of the Evangelista Family
Happy Halloween! We have a trick AND a treat for you with this Truly Twisted bonus!
On the evening of July 3rd, 1929 the Evangelista family was brutally murdered, but by who? This week we delve into the strange beliefs of Benny Evangelista, the baffling details of the crime, and the lasting fear and legend that the St. Aubin Street Massacre left behind. This story is more widely known as the Detroit Occult Murders. Was this the work of a rival religious fanatic, a swindled follower in Benny's work, or something even more sinister?
