At the end of the Roaring Twenties, New Orleans was rocked by one of the grizzliest murder scenes the city had ever seen. 715 Ursulines Avenue was the home of the Moity brothers, their wives, and children. They had been drawn to the city by the call of promise and opportunity, but the move wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. It wasn’t long before the families fell apart in the most dramatic way possible: a double homicide. Join us today as we record LIVE from the True Crime Podcast Festival in Dallas, TX, with Briana taking us through the case and touching on some of the hot button topics of the time.

In October of 2009, 20-year-old Morgan Harrington disappeared after attending a Metallica concert in Charlottesville. Months later, her remains were discovered in a remote field a few miles away. Fast forward to September 2014 and the story repeats itself with 18-year-old Hannah Graham who went missing after leaving a party. Her remains were found exactly five years and one day after Morgan’s disappearance. It wasn’t long before security footage revealed these two young women had something in common: the last person who saw them alive. Join us today as Briana goes through the details of these cases, how they connected, and how Hannah’s disappearance helped solve not only Morgan’s case, but another that had gone cold. Please consider making a donation to Help Save the Next Girl on behalf of Morgan, Hannah, and their families.
