This week on Spine-Chilling Chats, Ang brings you an absolute doozy of a case, the tragic and infuriating murder of Mary Phagan. What began as the brutal killing of a 13-year-old girl in 1913 quickly spiraled into one of the most controversial trials in American history. Ang dives deep into the investigation, the ever-changing testimonies, the media frenzy, and the conviction of Leo Frank, a case that ignited public outrage, fueled antisemitism, and led to mob violence that still stains history. Was justice truly served? Or was this a miscarriage of justice driven by corruption, prejudice, and hate? This episode is heavy, emotional, and maddening in all the worst ways…and Ang does not hold back. ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNINGS: This episode contains discussion of: Sexual abuse of a child, the murder of a child, the murder of a man, hate crimes and antisemitism directed at Jewish people. Please take care while listening. For those watching the video version: there are two morbid photos shown during the episode. Please pay attention to the on-screen warning so you can look away if you do not wish to see them. It’s heartbreaking. It’s enraging. It’s one of the most debated cases in true crime history.
