In March 1994, the quiet suburb of Carmel, Indiana was shattered by the brutal murders of siblings Lisa and Nick Allemenos, and their family friend Chris James. What began as a seemingly ordinary evening spiraled into one of Hamilton County’s most savage crimes—three young lives cut short in a chilling act of betrayal and violence. In this episode, we unravel the events leading up to that night, the shocking details of the crime, and the trial that followed. Through court records, survivor accounts, and community reflections, we explore how a senseless decision over drugs and money left a lasting scar on an entire town.
