L.A. Not So Confidential: The Premier Forensic Psychology Podcast

In 1933, Los Angeles had its own Bonnie & Clyde: a young, dynamic and attractive couple leaving a trail of terror through a crime spree that left victims traumatized and mutilated. Burmah White, "The Blonde Rattlesnake" was a luminous platinum blonde with hypnotic blue eyes... but was she actually the cackling psychopath that the media made her out to be?

“Going Postal”, in slang terms has become synonymous with an anger management problem or, in real minimization over the years, a version of “flying off the handle.” The REAL story has much more grim origins.

When doing research for a recent live event, we uncovered yet another LA serial killer that hunted at the Barclay Hotel in DTLA. The Brickbat Slayer was responsible for several attacks and murders in both Los Angeles and Chicago in the mid to late 1930's. Tenacious police work and forensic evidence eventually linked his brutal crimes and brought the terror imposed on both of these thriving cities to an end. This week, the doctors re-visit serial killer Robert Nixon, aka “The Brickbat Slayer”, taking the opportunity to make a more incisive examination of his crimes and the spirit of the times in which he lived.
