285. The Raurimu Massacre

Our True Crime Podcast

A listener requested episode. Thank you, Katherine!
Thank you to Ana, who helped me with some pronunciations. I'm still not sure I got it right.
By the time twenty-four-year-old Stephen Anderson stood in the doorway of the dining room on the 8th of February 1997 and announced, “I’ve had sex with a dog,” paused, and then added, “And a cat, too.” It was already too late for any intervention. The fates of the people seated around the breakfast table were already sealed.
Moments later, Stephen Anderson would come back into the room with a sawn-off shotgun and commit one of the worst massacres in New Zealand history.
