Welcome to the 14th episode of Wild Society!

A doctor was performing an autopsy on a motorcycle crash victim when he smelled cyanide in the stomach cavity, resulting in tests that proved the man was killed by cyanide poisoning. This discovery led to the finding of Donald Harvey, the “Angel of Death,” one of America’s most prolific serial killers, who claimed to have killed up to 70 victims during his 17 years as an orderly and nurses aide. Harvey claimed he performed “mercy” killings and used cyanide, arsenic, rat poisoning, and suffocation on his victims. Claiming he “played God”, Harvey showed no remorse for his many victims.

In part two of this episode we learn about Madame Delphine LaLaurie and her haunted mansion.

The city of New Orleans, Louisiana is considered to be one of the most haunted cities in the United States, but one house in particular, on the corner of Royal Street and Governor Nicholls Street, just one block from Bourbon Street, is said to be “the most haunted” place around. The Lalaurie mansion at 1140 Royal Street is home to one of the most gruesome tales of torture and mystery in New Orleans… and perhaps the country. On April 10, 1834, a fire broke out at the home of Madame Delphine Lalaurie and her third husband Dr. Louis Lalaurie. What was discovered inside would horrify neighbors and shake the foundation of a city.
