Cape Cod, January 2002. A woman is found dead in her Truro home. Her young daughter is still in the house. The victim is Christa Worthington, a former fashion writer who had come home to the quiet end of the Cape.
In episode 105, "Proclensity," Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark dig into the Christa Worthington case. Then they turn to Mary Mallon, the cook history remembers as Typhoid Mary. She was an asymptomatic carrier of typhoid who kept working in kitchens, and illness followed her.
It's the signature My Favorite Murder blend. Real details, dark humor, and plenty of room to be unsettled. One story is about a killing that haunted a small town. The other is about a woman who, authorities said, spread disease without ever feeling sick herself.
The Worthington case also didn't stay frozen in 2002. It took years to reach a courtroom, and a conviction eventually came. Check the latest coverage before you listen, because details on appeals and the case's aftermath can shift.
Two stories, one episode, and a lot to talk about afterward. Press play tonight and listen to the episode here, or find My Favorite Murder wherever you get your podcasts.
