You voted and we listened! Join us in the closet this week for a special double episode while Cristy and Beth both share cases of murder-suicides. 

Mental Illness is a terrible affliction so many people deal with on a daily basis.  An entire family perished due to mental illness.  Two young men thought the only solution to their problems was to take the lives of their family and then take their own lives.

The Hart Family was seemingly beautiful and happy to everyone on social media. With matriarchs Jenn and Sarah and 6 adopted children, the family was a picture of how wonderful being a non-traditional family could be. Or so everyone thought. It wasn't until their SUV was found at the bottom of a cliff, and all 8 of them were declared dead, that we all learned the actual truth.
