Payton's Week!
This is a rough one guys. The Wineville Chicken Coup Murders were a series of abductions and murders in Los Angeles and Riverside County, CA between 1926 and 1928. Gordon Stewart Northcott was the main perpetrator, with help from his mother in certain cases.
In part 1, we discuss early life for Stewart, his parents, and how he came to own land that he would turn into a small chicken ranch. He kidnapped his nephew, Sanford Clark, and took him back to his ranch in California where he physically and sexually abused Sanford for 2 years. Not only that but he had Sanford participate in the killings as well. This episode we discuss the known, and assumed victims of Stewart Northcott: the unidentified young man known as the "Headless Mexican", the assumed victims Walter Collins, and Lewis and Nelson Winslow.
Stay tuned for part 2.
