Sextortion, Secrets, and the Murder of Mary Hill

The Whedbees seemed like the classic All-American family. Hard-working husband, beautiful mother, a sweet older brother and adorable baby girl with Down syndrome. Lisa, the mother, would even be written up in an award-winning article about the challenges and rewards of raising a special-needs child. But behind closed doors, things were far from what they seemed. Infidelity, manipulation and gross betrayals would culminate in the brutal stabbing of an innocent person while they slept in their own bed. This case will show us once again just how deceiving appearances can be.Sources:Rude Awakening by Sheree Ann MartinesWho the Bleep Did I Marry S5E8American Monster S6E7This Week's Episode Brought To You By:BetterHelp - This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
