The Catskill Ripper: Lizzie Halliday w/ Kevin Owen

Музыка

On the heels of Lizzie Borden's infamous double murder, another woman named Lizzie was arrested for a series of killings, this time in New York's Catskill Mountains. Lizzie Halliday was arrested in September of 1893 for not only her husband Paul's murder (found buried under the kitchen floorboards of their home) but also for the murder of two women discovered decomposing in a crawl space under the barn.
My guest is Kevin Owen, author of "Killing Time in the Catskills: The Twisted Tale of the Catskill Ripper Elizabeth "Lizzie" McNally Halliday". He separates fact from fiction in this horrific story and paints a chilling portrait of one of the most cold-blooded criminals in Upstate New York history.

    Loved this!!! MN you interview with much delicacy and no interruptions of the writer. Articulate and measured analysis of a very disturbed woman. May she and her victims be resting in peace. Thanks to you both :)

    I am nearly 51, and i always found true crime from the time of lizzie borden interesting, because my great grand mother would talk about how they used horse's and wagons to travel, and just how much harder it was to survive back then. On the other side of my family, i had a great grand mother, and grandad, who farmed, and were farmer's going back several generation's. My grand parent's would talk about how my one great great great grandpa was killed on the sultan river steam ship after being let out of a confederate pow camp. I also have another great granpa who was in the civil war, named james keelan. If you google his name, and add strawberry plaines tennessee civil war and the bridge he guarded, you will find an amazing story. He was posthumously given the confederate medal of honour in 1994, and it's displayed in a museum in east tennessee museum. Well anyway, i did a report in high school on lizzie bordon, because they didn't have all the high tech ways to catch people, and it just seemed a stark contrast from the stories my elders told. I like historical true crime stories, the newer stuff not so much. Thanks for another great interview. God bless.

    This is the first I heard about her, but something towards the end of podcast (about 1:13:30 mark) you mention about the storm might had set her off in killing. I can't help to notice some similarities to the HP Lovecraft's story, "The Lurking Fear", published about 30 years later. Both takes place in the Catskills and deals with mental disease that is triggered by storms that leads to killing urges.

    Absolutely fascinating presentation. Thank you, both, for your slow and patient narrations. That is a skill and a talent. Thoroughly enjoyable listening experience. P.S. I normally listen to your podcasts, Eric, while sewing or while doing yard work. Even my cats settle around the yard while you're on audio. I find my mind never wanders while you're presenting with your guests. Signed, Devoted in Texas.

    I guess I'm a dissenting voice. I did enjoy the story, but I miss Erik's voice. It is almost like ASMR. I wish you had inserted yourself into the story, It would have unfolded about the same.

    I've listened to a couple of your podcasts, and I love your theme! I'm fascinated by vintage crime, and I always want to hear more about it. If I may make a suggestion, I think it would help your channel grow a lot if you either learn better editing skills or hire an editor. This episode was all over the place, kind of hard to follow, and it's disappointing that you decided not to address that last murder. You run a true crime podcast, that's what people show up for. There was a lot of time in this episode spent on minutia that didn't pertain to the story, and because of it you decided not to talk about Lizzy stabbing her best friend 200 times with a pair of scissors. Telling your audience "just Google it" is not going to win you a lot of fans. This unedited format also made me very skeptical of your guest. This scattered and partial telling of this story makes me think he's probably not a very concise writer, and that his book is going to be a lot of meandering fluff. Maybe it's not, maybe he has a good editor. I'm still not going to read his book after I listened to this. That's probably not the outcome either of you hoped for. I'm just saying, I think you could make a couple of simple corrections and gain loads more engagement and portray your guests in a more flattering light.

    Hi Hailey. Thanks for the feedback. On the large majority of my episodes authors are happy to talk about all aspects of the book. Occasionally I'll have an author who doesn't want to give away everything - as an incentive for listeners to purchase the book. I try to accommodate this request. Let's face it, these authors have spent years working on their books, countless hours often with little to no compensation, and have become absolute experts on their subjects. Then they graciously come on the show, in the hopes that people will find a reason to buy their book. It's very understandable. Also - I try to shoot for an hour interview most of the time, and in the case of this interview we did go over quite a bit. I never know when I start an interview whether an author will be talkative or not - it's kind of an art to perfectly balance/stretch an interview for an hour. And I haven't completely perfected it yet, despite well over 200 interviews. As far as editing goes, I do edit my shows, often quite a bit. But my interviews stand out as being fairly unique because I don't interrupt my guests and I let them say what they believe is important. My job is to gently direct them to some kind of conclusion. Hope this makes sense!

    @@MostNotorious perfect reply. I have only recently discovered your channel and I've been binging. As many others have commented in other threads, your style of interview is so refreshing. You allow the author to lead the conversation, only interjecting to ask occasional questions or to acknowledge something they have said. Totally agree, these authors deserve a great deal of thanks for doing these free interviews. Yes, they're hoping to sell some books, but mostly I hear a passion about the subject matter of their book which is amazing. Thank you and the many authors for providing this always enjoyable free content
