S6 E1 - "Playing The Long Game" - Justice for Willow (Part 1)

CW/TW - DISTRESSING CONTENT - Displays of grandiosity, narcissism or sociopathy, domestic violence, murder of a child

Mariah Lee Gardner escaped, barely clinging to life, from a brutal attack on her and her children at the hands of her ex-husband, Stephen Clare. In a tragic recollection of events, including murder, Mariah is still left with a huge void that cannot be filled. The lasting impact of what happened to her is unimaginable. Mariah will tell you from start to finish about the monster she married and unfortunately, didn’t realize how much of a monster he is, until far too late. The signs were there, but very difficult to see. This case is an extremely wild and heartbreaking ride - from the depths of a narcissistic monster to the scams he pulled, flying monkeys he created, the lies he told… and the murder he committed.
