About this episode
The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Cat and Rachel step into Chicago, where Prohibition-era power struggles turned a winter morning into one of the most infamous crimes in American history. On February 14, 1929, seven men were gunned down inside a North Side garage in a brazen act of organized crime violence that shocked the nation. Often linked to Al Capone’s war with rival gangs, the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre remains a symbol of unchecked corruption, criminal empires, and justice that never fully arrived. Join us as we break down what happened, who was believed to be responsible, and why this case still looms large nearly a century later.Links We Used: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Valentine%27s_Day_Massacrehttps://www.history.com/articles/saint-valentines-day-massacrehttps://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/february-14/the-st-valentines-day-massacrehttps://themobmuseum.org/exhibits/massacre-wall/https://michiganology.org/stories/michigan-and-the-st-valentines-day-massacre/https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/history/saint-valentines-day-massacrehttps://www.britannica.com/event/Saint-Valentines-Day-Massacrehttps://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1019761-1019761-st_valentines_day_massacrehttps://www.pbs.org/opb/historydetectives/investigation/st-valentines-day-massacre/index.htmlhttp://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/1191.htmlhttps://nleomf.org/saint-valentines-day-massacre-chicago/
