Welcome back to True Assassins, the daily podcast that serves up chilling true crime stories that will leave you craving more!
Today, we’re turning up the heat with a story that's as deliciously twisted as a perfectly seared steak. Get ready for a culinary nightmare, a pressure cooker of betrayal, and a killer recipe for revenge.
Chef Armand Dubois wasn't just a master of the kitchen, he was a master manipulator. He ruled his kitchen with an iron fist, his fiery temper a spice that critics and cameras ate up. But behind the culinary genius lurked a dark secret.
Chef Dubois was sabotaging his rivals. A thickened sauce here, some toxic shellfish there...the accidents were mounting, and Dubois was always there to offer condolences with a crocodile tear. Each act of sabotage was more meticulous than the last - a loosened oven dial, a tampered gas line. The kitchen was his hunting ground, and fear was his secret ingredient.
When young, talented Sophie arrived on the scene, Dubois saw her as a threat and decided to eliminate the competition. He tampered with her pressure cooker, resulting in a horrific explosion that left Sophie scarred and her career in ruins.
But Dubois' reign of terror was about to end. For his grand finale, he planned to sabotage the stoves at a charity gala, taking out his biggest critics in a blaze of glory. But someone had turned the tables on the killer chef. The gas line he'd tampered with was rigged to backfire, and Dubois became the victim of his own deadly recipe.
The official reports called it a tragic accident, but those who knew the truth whispered a different story. Justice had been served, and Chef Dubois' final dish was a cold plate of revenge.
