EP192: Killer Clown

On a quiet residential street, a family lived a life that looked ordinary from the outside—routine, familiar, unremarkable. But behind closed doors, a history already existed, one that had passed through courtrooms, parole boards, and official records, quietly waiting. When authorities were finally called to the house, they arrived expecting one kind of emergency and discovered another entirely—one that would force investigators, prosecutors, and the public to confront uncomfortable questions about warning signs, second chances, and the consequences of decisions made long before anyone thought they mattered. This is the story of Gregory Green—and the tragedy that revealed how the past never really stays buried.SOURCES: 1) Dearborn Heights Man Pleads Guilty In Slayings Of His 2 Kids, 2 Stepchildren2) Man accused of killing family in Dearborn Heights pleads guilty to murder, torture charges3) Police: Father kills 2 children, 2 teens at Dearborn Heights home4) Man accused of killing family in Dearborn Heights arraigned on 4 counts of murder5) ‘You Are The Devil In Disguise’: Ex-Wife To Man Who Murdered Her 4 Children6) Popular Pastor Pushed for Parole of Daughter's Ex-Con Husband Who Killed Their 4 Children7) Competency exam ordered for man accused of killing family in Dearborn Heights8) Mom of 4 slain kids to killer husband: "Justice will come when you burn in hell"
