TRIGGER WARNING: This episode deals with the Murder of Young Children. If this is a trigger for you, feel free to skip this week's episode!

This week, Krysta, Laura and Dean discuss the murder of Sam and Lindsey Porter by their father, Dan. After a trigger warning at the beginning of the episode, they discuss the family members and the family dynamic prior to the Dad's degeneration due to addiction issues. We then discuss the events leading up to their death and the aftermath where the dad spent 3 years alternately claiming Tina (the mother) would never see them alive again and claiming they were with person or persons unknown to keep them away from Tina's alleged (and completely unproven) abuse. Three years, three months and three days after the children's disappearance, their ultimate fate...a fate that we all feel is unthinkable. Join us for this heartrending episode.
