In 1991, the quiet Texas suburb of Channelview was rocked by one of the most bizarre true crime stories in American history. Wanda Holloway, a mother desperate to see her daughter make the junior high cheerleading squad, took her obsession to a deadly level. Instead of encouraging practice or patience, Wanda turned to murder-for-hire — plotting to have her daughter’s rival’s mother killed.

In this episode of Vivid Nightmares, host Bridgett Denise dives into the chilling details:

• Wanda’s obsession with status and cheerleading

• The taped conversations that sealed her fate

• The media circus that turned “Cheerleader Mom” into a national punchline

• And the shocking aftermath that left a family forever scarred
