Best of MURDERISH - E86 "Brown's Chicken Massacre"

Published: Sept. 18, 2023, 9 a.m.

Late in the evening on Friday, January 8, 1993, the employees in one particular restaurant in Palatine Chicago didn\u2019t know at the time that they would not be going home that night. Hours after these workers began their closing routine, all seven of their bodies would be discovered inside of Brown\u2019s Chicken, a popular restaurant chain. Upon entering the bloody scene, officer Ron Conley dispatched backup saying \u201cFive in the cooler.\u201d This tragedy was the worst mass murder in the Chicago area since 1966 when Richard Speck murdered eight student nurses in their dorm. It would take nine long years for authorities to receive a break in the horrendous case widely known as the Brown\u2019s Chicken Massacre.\n\nLet\u2019s get social: Follow MURDERISH on Instagram & TikTok @MurderishPodcast.
