This is I Fear You, Babe.

A Tesla accelerates off Devil’s Slide in California.
Two parents are killed.
Three children survive.

At first, it looks like a tragic accident. Then the evidence begins to shift.

In this episode, we examine the case of Dharmesh Patel, a father accused of intentionally driving his family off a cliff. We walk through the investigation, the psychological evaluations, and the unsettling questions about image, pressure, and the private fractures that can exist inside seemingly intact families.

This is not a story about a moment of impact.
It’s about what leads someone to decide that survival isn’t the goal.
