When Nerds Attack - Doomsday: The Murder of Lizzi Marriott

If there’s one group of folks we identify with here at True
Crime Campfire, it’s nerds. Between Katie and me, we cover about
six or seven different subspecies of nerd over here, from Dungeons
and Dragons nerd to anime nerd. True crime nerd goes without
saying. And as we’ve said before, most of the time our people are
harmless, peaceful types. Just give us a special edition Blu-Ray
box set of the Lord of the Rings and a pantry full of snacks, and
we’ll cause nobody any trouble. But sometimes, for a certain type
of personality, a preoccupation with fantasy can be…not such a good
thing. Pair that with narcissism and a lack of empathy for other
humans, and you’ve got a recipe for some real megalomaniac
wackiness. The kind that’s so convinced of its capital-D Destiny
that it starts to think it’s entitled to take whatever it wants. No
matter what kind of damage it does to anybody else. Join us for the
story of Seth Mazzaglia and Kat McDonough, a mismatched pair of
theatre geeks who believed they shared a cosmic destiny, but whose
selfish desires ended in the death of an innocent young
woman.
