The Tomahawk "Tongue People" and the Murder of Lucinda Mills
Manage episode 477970318 series 3652668
Lucinda Mills was a loving mother to 14 children and too many grandchildren (and great grandchildren!) to count. She loved them all and they loved her. Why, then, did so many stand by on that cold February day in 1933 while her son put her on a makeshift altar and used her in a religious ritual to show that he could bring someone back to life? That did, after all, require murdering her first. Listen in as we talk about what makes family cults unique and unravel some interesting historical crime from 1933!
