95. Karla Faye Tucker and Danny Garrett: The Pickaxe Murders of Jerry Dean and Deborah Thornton

This week you're getting an episode from the Patreon Exclusive vault!
Karla Faye quit school as a little girl and went on the road with her mom. They were rock and roll band groupies and sex workers. After her mother passed away due to abusing drugs, she started to live life on the wild side with bikers and party heavily in her early 20s. Her friend Shawn, estranged wife to a biker named Jerry Dean, introduced Karla to Danny Garrett. They spent days doing hardcore drugs and alcohol. They went to burglarize Jerry Dean but Karla’s anger over a past situation, plus being drugged up, took over her and the robbery quickly turned into a double homicide.
