On January 6, 2018, law enforcement arrived at a home in Belgrade, Montana. Inside, they discovered a woman, barely alive, who had barricaded herself behind her bedroom door. Another woman was found, but she had not survived. As details of the crimes unfolded, investigators would learn that the killer had a very unlikely accomplice. Join me as I walk you through the case of Lauren DeWise.
