Horror on Rampart Street – The Deaths of Addie Hall and Zack Bowen

In this episode of Super SUS, we examine the disturbing case of Zach Bowen and Addie Hall, a couple whose relationship began in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. What started as a connection forged through shared interests and intense circumstances slowly unraveled under the weight of substance abuse, emotional volatility, and unresolved trauma.

We explore Zach’s deeply troubled background, including his military service and struggles with PTSD, alongside Addie’s history of abusive relationships and ongoing mental health challenges. As tensions escalate, their story takes an increasingly dark turn, raising troubling questions about accountability, mental illness, and the warning signs that were missed.
