Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows the final months of one of California's most disturbing crime sprees. In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows the final months of one of California's most disturbing crime sprees. By 1928, 21-year-old Gordon Stewart Northcott had killed at least three boys on his chicken ranch outside Los Angeles, with the help of his teenage nephew and his own mother. But when Northcott's niece traveled from Canada to check on her younger brother, she saw enough to know something was very wrong. What she did next would unravel everything. The investigation that followed uncovered shallow graves beneath the chicken coops, an international manhunt, and a courtroom reckoning that exposed a family who had protected a killer for years. Please note, this episode contains descriptions of sexual violence, torture, and murder, and may not be suitable for all audiences.Head over to our Murder True Crime Stories YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@MurderTrueCrimeStoriesIf you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!
