🚨 OMG, was it lead or was it just really bad vibes in Tacoma? 🤦‍♂️ Somehow, poisoning the water supply is less terrifying than the New Yorker actually trying to link it to serial killers. Next up, a groundbreaking study on whether eating too many avocados causes bad poetry. 🥑📉

The New Yorker · Did Lead Poisoning Create a Generation of Serial Killers?By Gideon Lewis-Kraus

I recently read Ryan Katz's 2022 New Yorker article about the victims of a family of serial killers in the US southwest, "The Long Afterlife of a Terrible Crime"*. Through which I learned that the Love+Radio podcast featured Jerry Nation (son of that terrible family) in 2020, interviewed about his life and history. Gripping, not "easy listening"

One day Glen, my biological brother, come to me and said, "What do you think about finding our parents and stuff?"

I said, "Shit. All right. I guess so. Whatever you want."

We went and applied for the state adoption records. Get the records and about this right here, about an inch and a half of papers and stuff. I start reading through it.

What did you expect before you actually got the records?

I didn't expect it to be that bad. Horrible stuff. They're murderers. Serial killers.

Carl was my step-dad. He was the main one. Sherman is my biological grandfather. Ginger, my biological mom, was Big Carl's wife at the time. Then you had Carolyn, which was Sherman's wife. My Uncle Danny, he killed that couple there in Dallas.

Then you had Tammy, my biological aunt. Robert, Michael. Glen, my biological brother. That's what? Six kids and four adults. 10 folks. That's crazy.
