241: Rattlesnake James

Brace yourselves for one of the most bizarre stories in Cult Liter history as we discuss the life and times of ‘Rattlesnake James.’ What started out as an accidental death led authorities in Los Angeles down a rabbit hole of marriages, mysteries, and moidah. 

New episodes come out every Tueday for free, with 1-week early access for Wondery+ subscribers.
