Manage episode 288807967 series 2831212
1806 - Bowdoinham, Maine.
On a hot July night in 1806, in a frontier town near Augusta, Maine (before the state had its name), Captain James Scales Purrington took an axe and a straight edge razor, and murdered his wife and 7 of their children before killing himself.
This horrifying act shocked the town. What kind of man would slaughter his children? Did James Purrington have a psychotic break? Or did something more sinister happen?
This is the story of the original family annihilator, James Purrington, and the Purrington family massacre.
