Episode 115 - The Story of Addie Hall + Zack Bowen: Love and Death in the French Quarter
Thu Oct 02 2025
I’m BAAAACK after a too-long hiatus — and what better time to return than October, my favorite time of year. Though while it may be October, it’s 99 degrees in Tucson. BUT - I don’t care. I’ve got the air conditioning cranked down to “haunted mansion,” and I’m pretending there’s a chill in the air—because spooky season is officially here.
And we’re kicking it off with one of my favorite stories ever… one that’s as eerie as it is tragic.
In the heart of New Orleans—where ghosts, jazz, and bad decisions all share a drink—two lovers tried to rebuild their lives after Hurricane Katrina. But inside a tiny apartment above a Voodoo temple, their story took a dark, unforgettable turn.
This is the story of Addie Hall and Zack Bowen—a couple whose love burned bright, then imploded spectacularly, leaving behind one of the most chilling true crime tales in New Orleans history.
Stick around ‘til the end for some exciting updates, too—it’s been a minute, and we’ve got things to catch up on.
Set in post-Katrina New Orleans, this true crime episode dives into the haunting murder-suicide that still lingers like a ghost above the Voodoo Spiritual Temple.
LOVE YOU ALL!
Come for the true crime, stick around for the life updates, and—of course—enjoy the chaos🌵🩷
