The Northons Part 1

Published: April 18, 2023, 7 a.m.

Part 1: \u201cWho\u2019s the Monster?\u201d\n\nLiysa Northon never disputed the fact that she had killed her husband. Truth be told, she informed the police that she may have killed him. But the story that she would go on to tell, would change, like many of the stories told throughout her life. She was adamant she had to kill her husband, if she hadn\u2019t, it would have been her or her son. When Lisya\u2019s case was being prepared for court, it by no means drew notoriety across the country, but in the NW corner and in Hawaii, it became well-known and highly anticipated. People were intrigued and even moved by the fit, pretty, young woman who claimed to desperately fight for her life, and yet, many people stood behind the victim to point the blame at her. Once court was over and the case settled, many were left scratching their heads at the outcome. Soon, one of the most famous true crime writers in the world would discover Liysa\u2019s case and pen her final chapter, and what she had to say showed Liysa in an entirely different light. Over the next two episodes of Murder in the Rain, I\u2019ll share Liysa\u2019s story and dig into why when picked apart, it didn\u2019t quite line up with the evidence. So, was Liysa Northon married to a monster who terrorized her every day, or was she the monster?\n\nFor photos and sources for today\u2019s episode, check out the Murder in the Rain Episode Blog. \n\nNational Domestic Violence Hotline 1-800-799-7233 or text START to 88788\n\nIf you\u2019d like more episodes of Murder in the rain, Patreon members at the $5/mo+ level, gain access to exclusive episodes, ad-free episodes, bonus content, and more.\n\nFollow us on:\n\nInstagram https://www.instagram.com/murderintherain/ \nFacebook https://www.facebook.com/mintherain/ \nTwitter https://twitter.com/murderintherain \nTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@em_murderintherain \nWebsite https://www.murderintherain.com/ \nEmail murderintherain@gmail.com\n\nOur Sponsors:\n* Check out Armoire and use my code RAIN for a great deal: http://www.armoire.style\n* Check out undefined and use my code RAIN for a great deal: undefined\n* Check out undefined: undefined \n\nSupport this podcast at \u2014 https://redcircle.com/murder-in-the-rain/exclusive-content\n\nAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
