In the inaugural episode of Rooted and Crime, hosts Lauryn Macdonald and Nima Hodoudi revisit the case that ignited Lauryn's true crime podcasting passion under her first podcast,  Sepia Crimes. This is the story of Angelina Napolitano, and Italian immigrant mother living in Sault Sainte Marie, ON in 1911 under the constant threat of murder from her abusive husband. Once she had enough of his forceful requests for her to live a shameful life, she ended the life of her abuser. Listen as we explore Angelina's early life, the hardships she endured, and the events of April 1911 in part 1 of this episode.
