What happens when a seemingly idyllic life in a small Irish village turns into a horrifying tragedy? Join us as we uncover the grim tale of the Fox family from Castle Daly, Ireland, forever etched in the annals of true crime history. In this heart-wrenching episode, we honor the memories of Debbie Fox and her two young sons, Trevor and Killian, whose lives were brutally taken by Debbie's husband, Gregory Fox, in 2001. With insights from Nicola Tallant's compelling book, "Flesh and Blood," we explore the chilling realities of coercive control that shattered this family's world, while challenging the pervasive narratives that often blame victims rather than holding abusers accountable.

This is the story of the Fox Family.
