The Trunk Murders

This week on Lipgloss & Lobotomies, we’re diving into two stories that blur the line between myth, mystery, and something far more sinister.

 

First, we head into the depths of the Grand Canyon, where a bizarre 1909 newspaper article claimed the discovery of an ancient underground cavern filled with Egyptian artifacts, hieroglyphics, and even mummies. Was this an archaeological cover-up tied to the Smithsonian Institution, an elaborate hoax, or a piece of history that was quietly buried? We break down what was reported—and what was never proven.

 

Then, we travel to the shadowy streets of New Orleans to uncover the chilling “trunk murders,” a gruesome case from 1927 that left a city shaken. Two young women, dismembered and hidden inside a trunk, and the killer was closer than you think!

From hidden chambers to hidden crimes, this episode peels back the layers of two unsettling tales that refuse to stay buried.

So grab your gloss, steady your nerves, and step into the darkness with us.
