Gilded Cage: The Murder of Lita Sullivan

Gilded Cage: The Murder of Lita Sullivan

Eric Maisel once said that ambition is vital, but dangerous—capable of driving people over the edge. That’s especially true when you add greed to the equation, and a relentless desire for status. For some, what other people think of them is the only thing that matters. That tiny little inner voice that never felt good enough starts to drown out all the other voices, even the ones who say “I love you.” Nothing’s more important than looking like you have more stuff than anybody else. Nothing matters more than having a seat at the table with the “right” sort of people. And if the “wrong” sort try and get in your way, well—things can get dangerous.Sources:The Palm Beach Murder by Marion Collinshttps://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna12009956https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1990-07-15-9002040058-story.htmlhttps://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1998-04-29-9804280344-story.htmlhttps://www.ajc.com/news/local/triggerman-socialite-sullivan-murder-released-from-prison/Pwc3DKaD8LzVfzYu5JiNVN/https://www.palmbeachpost.com/article/20150607/NEWS/812063065https://www.e-reading-lib.com/chapter-amp.php/147530/50/the-best-american-crime-writing-2005.htmlhttps://blackthen.com/lita-mcclinton-murdered-white-husband-attempt-reach-social-elite-status/Follow us, campers!Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfireFacebook: True Crime CampfireInstagram: https://gramha.net/profile/truecrimecampfire/19093397079Twitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfireEmail: truecrimecampfirepod@gmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-campfire--4251960/support.
