In this episode of American Murder Stories I discuss the story of Louis D. Hastings - The McCarthy Massacre.

On the 1st of March, 1983 the small town of McCarthy, Alaska would never be the same again. Out of it’s 22 residents, 6 would be brutally murdered. Maxine Edwards, Harley King, Les and Flo Hegland, and Tim and Amy Nash, they would all meet their fate at the hands of neighbour, Louis D Hastings.
