Episode 111: Shelly Knotek and the Raymond, Washington Torture Killings

Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you, one of the wildest and strangest tales of gaslighting, manipulation, abuse, torture and murder in modern history.

A tale too crazy to be believed, so weird police refused to even investigate it for years, allowing the insanity to continue undaunted, though they were contacted many, many times.

The tale of a mother so cruel and unfeeling as to be a literal monster, a psychopathic and murderous redheaded beast cunning enough to fool nearly everyone and appear for all to see as an all-American mom in white-bread suburbia.

It is the story Michelle “Crazy Shelly” Knotek, America’s Most Evil Mother, and the Raymond, Washington Torture Killings.
