Buckle up, folks! We're diving headfirst into the whirlwind tragedy of the Choy Family, a real-life saga that's part mystery, part drama, and all jaw-dropping. The Choy family was a conservative, close-knit family living in a nice suburban neighborhood in Brockton, Massachusetts.  Anne Trinh-Choy and her husband Ching “Jimmy” Choy did their best to raise their daughter Frances and grandson Kenneth in a happy, hardworking household. However, not everything was as it seemed within the walls of the Choy residence. Soon, tragedy struck the Choy family that sent a ripple effect through the community. 17-year-old Frances Choy soon finds herself at the center of a mind-boggling mystery but alas, things are never as they appear. Don’t miss this special episode that aligns with the upcoming interview with Dr. Jeff Kukucka.
