Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan: Staging a Murder-Suicide -The Familial Murder of Pamela and Helen Hargan

Pamela Hargan and her daughter Helen were found dead in their home in McLean, Virginia, the victims of an apparent murder-suicide, in July 2017.

Eventually, police narrowed it down to one prime suspect - Pamela’s oldest daughter Megan.

In this episode of Body Bags, forensics expert Joseph Scott Morgan and Jackie Howard discuss how the police realized the crime scene was staged, the significance of where the gun was found, blood spatter patterns, how they came to suspect Pamela’s oldest daughter Megan, and much more.
