Ep 84 - The Chaotic Story behind the Murder of Orin Hendrickson

Haunted Hospitality

In this week's episode, Zoey covers the story of the murder of Orin Hendrickson, a story that was referenced in the Arkansas episode of the 2022 season of the Haunted College Tour Palooza. Also known as the Ouachita Murder or the Ouachita Dorm Mother Murder, this case covers the very complex series of events Pat Hendrickson took to hire someone to kill her husband.

Pat Hendrickson, along with friends Norma, Howard, and Mark, concoct a poorly made plan to murder Orin for his money. Pat asked Norma about hiring a hitman, Norma asked Mark, and Mark asked Howard. If you ask Howard, he says he thought it was a joke, so said he'd do it, so Mark told Norma, and Norma told Pat. And the rest of the episode continues in a very similar pattern.

This episode does include the guest star of the amazingly named bar, BJ's Star Studded Honky Tonk, which is a phrase Zoey will never stop saying. And though we mention it might be a two part-er, it is eventually a single episode.

But before we get into that, Robin shares a list of Theater Superstitions, and is highly against saying "break a leg" due to her recent experiences.
