Ep. 111: Graveyard Love - Zack Bowen & the Murder of Addie Hall

Ain't It Scary? with Sean & Carrie

New Orleans, one year post Hurricane Katrina.

A man is found dead after jumping from the roof of the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel. In his pocket is a note directing police to go back to his apartment. There, the note says, they'll find the dismembered body of Addie Hall.

The police had no idea the kind of scene they were about to find.

The inside of 826 North Rampart Street on October 17th, 2006 was nothing short of nightmares. But what drove the man, identified as Zackery "Zack" Bowen, to kill the woman he said he loved, and then himself?

Carrie dives into this tragic tale, one intertwined with the horrors of the Iraq War, the trauma of Hurricane Katrina, and the failures of the government in both instances that may have pushed a man off the precipice of madness. Tread lightly: this is a gruesome, devastating story.
