About this episode

This episode explores the events leading up to the violent murder of Betty Gore by Candy Montgomery.

Candy Montgomery didn't stumble into an affair. She planned it methodically: rules, boundaries, no feelings, and chose her friend Betty Gore’s husband as the man she'd sleep with. For ten months, nobody suspected a thing. On June 13th, 1980, Candy stopped by Betty’s to pick up a swimsuit, and by that night, Betty had been struck with an axe 41 times. The question we’re left with is: what happened in between? This episode contains descriptions of extreme violence and the mutilation of a body. Please listen with care.
