148. “Under Investigation” - The Case of Benson Xiong - Wausau, Wisconsin

Abuse allegations, a text message, and a dark history.

In October of 2018 Heather Gardner dropped off her healthy, happy, 11-week-old baby boy, Benson Xiong off with babysitter, Marissa Tietsort. 

She never could have imagined that would be the last time she would see her son alive.

An investigation would uncover a pattern and history of abuse that was more disturbing than anyone knew.
