The New Orleans Holdouts: Zach Bowen and Addie Hall
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans became a city of survival — and for some, a city of unraveling. This episode examines the tragic case of Zack Bowen and Adriane “Addie” Hall, a volatile relationship shaped by untreated mental illness, substance abuse, post-combat trauma, and a complete breakdown of stability.
What began as a passionate connection in the French Quarter slowly collapsed into constant conflict, emotional abuse, and isolation. In October 2006, that collapse turned fatal. Over the course of this episode, we walk through the full timeline — from Zack’s military service and PTSD, to Addie’s struggles with bipolar disorder, to the days following her murder and the calculated steps that followed.
This is not a story told for shock value. It’s a case about domestic violence, the consequences of untreated mental health, and the systems that fail people long before tragedy strikes. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
