Summary

We rarely cover cases that have little to no background information about a killer’s upbringing, which is something we rely heavily on to make our own assumptions about how the monster we see, was formed… And today is the exception.

By the end of this case, you’ll be left asking Why, Just Why?

0:00.0	Black 2 Crime is a podcast that researchers and discusses murders committed by Black offenders.
0:05.3	It is a podcast that anyone and everyone is welcome to enjoy, but it may not be enjoyed by anyone
0:11.1	and everyone, so listen to discretion is advised. Now without further ado, this is Black 2 Crime.
0:30.3	Hello everyone! Hey everybody what's going on? I'm Kayla and I'm Kristen and welcome to Black
0:46.8	True Crime. If this is your first time here at the show, welcome and hello! Hi guys!
0:54.0	Today's case is actually not a listener requested case. I wanted to do something a little bit
0:59.9	different because in the media and all of this just horrible murder stuff already that we're
1:06.4	dealing with, I just wanted to go a different route this time. So I found this case, I thought

2:00.6	because I don't know what you chose to do today. All right so literally I chose to not do anything
2:06.3	related to the year 1973. I really wanted to highlight this one really cool person that I've
2:12.8	been getting to know recently and her name is Victoria Montau. Oh and Victoria Montau was
2:19.5	Asia Haitian soldier. She was a midwife which means she delivered babies and she was a spiritual
2:25.8	leader. It is believed that she taught Haiti's revolutionary leader Jean-Jacques Dessolines,
2:32.9	probably I'm saying that completely wrong. But y'all know how we do. She actually taught him,
