Since as early as the 1700s, New Orleans has been a city filled with sin and vice. Those first pioneering citizens of the Big Easy were thieves, vagabonds, and criminals of all kinds. By the time Louisiana fell under American control, New Orleans had become a city of debauchery and corruption camouflaged by decadence. Tales in this volume include that of the notorious axman who plagued the streets of the Crescent City in the early 1900s and Kate Townsend, a prostitute who was murdered by her own lover, a man who later was awarded her inheritance.

In dit seizoen van Moorden in de jaren keren we weer terug naar de jaren negentig. De tijd van discmans en videotheken, maar ook van misdrijven die werden onderzocht in een forensische tussenfase, waarin DNA net zijn intrede deed en veel zaken onvolledig werden afgehandeld. Elke aflevering staat één zaak uit dat decennium centraal. Mis dus geen enkele aflevering van Moorden in de Jaren 90. Research, redactie en productie: Lotte Lentes en Hanneke Hendrix, muziek: Mike Roelofs, in samenwerking met New Tree Media. Adverteren in deze podcast? adverteren@newtreemedia.nl

A prominent New Jersey doctor and members of a notorious outlaw motorcycle gang transform the doctor's office into a drug ring, pumping thousands of highly addictive opioid pain pills onto the streets in exchange for cash.

The names Peter, Barbara Ann, and Gerald Egan were familiar to Watertown police before December 31, 1964. The police suspected the trio in a long string of burglaries, and they were under investigation by the FBI for grand theft auto. But on that New Year's night, the Egans were shot execution style at a rest stop off Interstate 81. The gruesome gangland-style killings puzzled local and state police. Theories ranged from a simple confrontation gone awry to a premeditated act of retribution by hardened criminals who feared the Egans would turn state's witness.
