The Fairhope sisters' murder-for-hire plot is one of the most morally complex true crime cases we've covered. Three Alabama sisters paid a five-time convicted felon to kill their brother-in-law — and she became the only person who did the right thing.

Built from 76 pages of federal court documents including the sentencing transcript, this episode reveals how a $500 vet bill became a murder contract, and what happened when the intended victim walked into court to thank the woman hired to kill him.

All five defendants have been sentenced. Court documents are sent exclusively to subscribers when episodes drop — subscribe now at https://truecrimeunheard.com/subscribe so you don't miss future case files.
