Hello and welcome to Crime & Spirits, where your hosts teach you about true crime, spooky stories, and how to make a great cocktail. This week we are diving into the deaths of Addie Hall & Zack Bowen, a couple from New Orleans, that tragically died in 2006. These two shared an incredibly tumultuous and volatile relationship. Addie suffered from childhood trauma and was not mentally well for most of her life. Zack was a military veteran who also struggled with his mental health. Throw in copious amounts of drugs and alcohol and you've got a recipe for guaranteed self destruction. After managing to survive hurricane Katrina and all its aftermath, things came to a head between Zack and Addie, which unfortunately ended in a murder suicide.

For sipping along this week, we're making "The Sazerac."
