As she fought for her life, the chilling question remained - who could commit such a brutal act against a devoted mother?
In this episode, we delve into the tragic story of Annie Hester, a woman whose life revolved around her daughter, Alice. We explore the circumstances leading up to her untimely death, the investigation that followed, and the dark secrets that emerged.
