Summary

Grab a beer and join us tonight as we cover the story of Zack Bowen and Addie Hall! We’ll start with how they met in the French Quarter in the chaos after Hurricane Katrina and became small media figures for staying behind when everyone else fled. Then we’ll dig into how their lives unraveled over the next year. The drinking, the fights, the PTSD, and the growing hostility behind closed doors. Finally, we’ll break down the events of October 2006, when Zack killed Addie, left a detailed confession, and ended his own life days later. https://www.necronomipod.com https://www.patreon.com/necronomipod Sponsored by BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com/necro Learn more about your ad choices.
