208: Easter Sunday Massacre

Brandi really outdid herself this week by covering the most horrifying crime\\u2026 ever???
\\n

\\n
\\n
James Urban Ruppert had a rough life. As he grew into adulthood, his struggles continued. He couldn\\u2019t hold a job. He couldn\'t maintain relationships. He had paranoid delusions. That all came to a head on Easter Sunday of 1975, when his entire extended family celebrated the holiday at his mother\\u2019s house.

Also, please cue the Golden Girls theme song for Brandi. She told our only case this week so that Kristin could spend time with her grandma.
\\n

\\n
\\n
And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
