Serial Killer: Delphine Lalaurie - Part 1

Behind the elegant facade of high society and lavish parties in 1830s Louisiana, Madame and Monsieur Lalaurie concealed a house of unimaginable cruelty. When the fire of 1834 broke out engulfing the kitchen of the Royal Street Mansion the truth could no longer be hidden. What rescuers discovered inside shocked a city to its core and started a local legend that’s still discussed to this day. In this three-part series we’ll discuss who Madame Delphine Lalaurie was, the rumors of slave abuse, her exile, and where the case blurs the line between fact and nightmare.
