Minnesota’s Most Notorious: Where Blood Runs Cold

Minnesota’s Most Notorious: Where Blood Runs Cold

by

Erik, the host of the Most Notorious podcast, has spent over twenty years compiling a file of historical true crime stories from his native state of Minnesota. These stories are presented here, in titillating, tragic, often gruesome and occasionally bizarre detail. On this episode, I get a little more informal than usual, as I chat with Deborah Frethem, long time tour guide at the Wabasha Street Caves (the old Castle Royale Nightclub). We swap tour guide and ghost stories, in honor of the sad, recent closing of the Caves.

Deborah, along with Cynthia Schreiner Smith, are co-authors of a book called “Alvin Karpis and the Barker Gang in Minnesota”.
