In the quiet, desolate town of Bent, New Mexico, a single decision proved fatal. When a welfare check on Victor Perea, Mary Mouser, and Killian Mayes was mysteriously canceled, the window to save them slammed shut. Days later, police were called not to a house, but to a raging fire on a remote road—a blue Subaru incinerating under the desert sky.

This episode unravels the chilling case of the Bent triple murder. We trace the unsettling timeline from the last time the victims were seen alive to the moment the scorched vehicle revealed the gruesome remains of three family members.

We reveal the frantic, failed attempt at a cover-up by stepsiblings Kane Mayes and Cassandra Douglas, who tried to use bleach, hydrogen peroxide, and fire to erase their crime. Discover the crucial clues found in the victims' home—missing carpet, a bullet hole, and the damning .22 caliber ammunition—that led investigators to the culprits and exposed a story of cold-blooded greed and family betrayal.

Listen now to the terrifying account of the murder that a single phone call could have prevented.
