Summary
They say money can’t buy happiness… And that certainly proved true in 1972, when Tony Baekeland – heir to the Bakelite plastic dynasty – plunged a knife into his mother Barbara’s heart in their London penthouse. But behind the lurid headlines lay a trail of dysfunctional family secrets, taboo mother-son incest and twisted DIY conversion therapy: all washed down by a toxic cocktail of wealth and excess. And after being released from Broadmoor Hospital, Tony would strike again... Was this poor little rich boy mad, bad, or a victim of something much darker? Inspiring the 2008 film Savage Grace starring Julianne Moore and Eddie Redmayne, this is the most shocking true story you’ve probably never heard of. -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram
