Summary

Grady Franklin Stiles Jr. was a carnival performer who had the genetic condition ectrodactyly. Because of this, Stiles performed under the stage name “Lobster Boy.” In 1979, Stiles was convicted of murdering his own daughter’s fiancé a day before their wedding.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Grady Stiles Jr. Grady came from a long line of carnival performers who all had the same genetic condition. Some of his children had it as well. Grady was said to have been extremely abusive to his family. He was killed in a murder-for-hire scheme orchestrated by members of his own family.
