The House of Rot: Kendall Francois and the Poughkeepsie Killings
For nearly two years, a school hall monitor in Poughkeepsie, New York, strangled eight women and hid their bodies in the attic and crawl space of the family home he shared with his parents and sister—one block from Vassar College. Neighbors complained about the smell. The family blamed a dead raccoon. No one looked.
In this episode, Alexander Lawson tells the story of Kendall Francois, known as the Poughkeepsie Killer: how he targeted women involved in sex work, how the bodies piled up under one roof, and how one survivor’s escape finally exposed what had been rotting in plain sight.
