Morbid History - Murder Mystery Edition!
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Brand new in 2026 by popular demand! Your patrons love true crime and loved Lorrisa’s “Morbid History,” so Lorrisa combines both with brand new true stories they’ve never heard. She delves into royal secrets buried for centuries, a killer hiding in her own house, and deadly scandals from Old Hollywood, all told with her vibrant wit and signature flair!
Stories may include:
The unsolved murder of Bavaria’s insane, castle-building King Ludwig II
Was American hero Meriwether Lewis murdered?
Did William Randolph Hearst shoot at Charlie Chaplin and kill a producer by accident?
Did Jean Harlow murder her husband?
Why did death follow cook Mary Mallon wherever she worked?
The killer who once lived in Lorrisa’s own home, and how the 1983 murder of his wife was solved
