A mother disappears in the Bronx… and within hours, trash bags start turning up across multiple blocks. Inside them? Human remains. What follows is one of the most chilling and confusing cases New York has seen — a crime where the suspects blame each other, where the evidence is scattered like breadcrumbs, and where the truth gets darker the closer you look.

In this episode of Stuttering in Silence, Matt and Gavin break down the brutal 2013 murder and dismemberment of Tanya Byrd, a beloved mother whose son, Bahsid McLean, and his friend, William Harris, became the center of a twisted investigation. We take you through the timeline, the conflicting stories, the psychological red flags, and the shocking details the media could barely process.

This is not just a murder — it’s a window into mental illness, manipulation, fear, and the secrets that can exist inside a family home.
