Another bizarre story from Fear Thy Neighbor, Laron Estes and his wife Barbara found their friendly relationship with their neighbors, Claryce Bishop and her son Donald Easley, deteriorating fast after property line issues, disputes about pets, and all-night "security" lights put them at odds with each other. No one could have guessed how this strained relationship would spiral out of control in a deadly fashion - or could they?

CW: This case deals with sexual assault, murder, spousal abuse, suicidal ideation, and dismemberment of a human body, so please take care when listening.

Wayne Adam Ford turned himself into police at the urging of his brother in November of 1998 - by this time he had already killed at least four women and assaulted many others. His tears and apparent guilt about his crimes earned him the press moniker "the serial killer with a conscience" - we don't think he's that at all.

These are the crimes of Wayne Adam Ford.
