165: The "Potato Masher Murder" of Cecilia Ludwig w/ Gary Sosniecki - A True Crime History Podcast

My guest, Gary Sosniecki, shares the story of the horrific murder of his great-grandmother, Cecilia, at the hands of her husband Albin Ludwig in Mishawaka, Indiana in September of 1906. After beating her head with a potato masher, he put her body in their bedroom closet and then lit it on fire. At least that is what prosecutors believed happened - Albin had a very different version. His book is called "The Potato Masher Murder: Death at the Hands of a Jealous Husband".
