Questions About This Episode

What is Episode 13: "The Demon in the Belfry" about?

On Easter Sunday, April 13, 1895, parishioners at the Emmanuel Baptist Church in San Francisco were shocked when a closet was opened that contained the mutilated body of a young woman. Police detectives who were summoned to the church expected the corpse to belong to a 20-year-old woman named Blanche Lamont, a member of the church’s congregation who had gone missing 10 days earlier. But it wasn’t her. Instead, the dead woman was 21-year-old Minnie Williams, who was also a member of the church. And that wasn’t all the two young women had in common. Both had last been seen with the church’s handsome and well-liked Sunday School Superintendent, a man named Theo Durrant – who soon earned a nickname from the press. They called him “The Demon in the Belfry,” because it was almost impossible for anyone to believe that the brutal murders could be the work of an ordinary man. He had to be one of the Devil’s minions, escaped from the fiery pits of Hell. Our Sponsors: * Check out Shopify: Advertising Inquiries: Privacy & Opt-Out:
