Prison City Murders – Case 7 – The Nicest Guy



Late Friday night, the day after Thanksgiving, November 28th, 1958.

Wolcott, Kansas.

18-year-old University of Kansas sophomore, Lowell Lee Andrews, calls the Wyandotte County Sheriff’s Office. He reports that there has been a burglary at his family’s farmhouse near the tiny Wolcott neighborhood of Kansas City, Kansas. In the house, he has found his mother, father, and sister–all dead.

I’d appreciate it if you would subscribe to Prison City Murders and write a review. Even critical feedback is appreciated. You can email me at prisoncitymurders@gmail.com or comment on the cases below.

Thank you so much for listening and until next time, please don’t murder anybody. I don’t think you can listen to podcasts behind bars.
