Episode 3: Hotel Monte Vista
A warning for listeners: This episode talks about explicit and disturbing material, including murder-suicide and sexual abuse. Please, take care while listening.
One Tuesday night in 2006, 28-year-old Zack Bowen, an Iraq War veteran, stuffed a hand-written note in his front pocket and nervously sipped his drink on the outside terrace of the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel before flinging himself from the rooftop.
In his note, on his lifeless body, Zack admitted to strangling, sexually violating and dismembering his girlfriend, Addie Hall, two weeks earlier. He also revealed her remains could be found in the flat above a voodoo shop that the couple shared.
