About this episode

Becky and Bevy discuss the tragic homicide of Long Nguyen and Huong Ly, an immigrant couple who sought help from a spiritual advisor before their deaths.

This week on LOTW, Becky and Bevy take us to Arlington. Long Nguyen and Huong Ly had built their lives around family, routine, and work. They ran a small tailoring business, spending long days sewing, helping customers, and trying to keep the shop steady. Their son-in-law Chao often acted as the face of the business, greeting clients and helping manage daily operations while the couple focused on the work itself. Like many immigrant families, they had come to the United States hoping for stability and opportunity. But over time, business slowed and financial pressure grew. Looking for answers, the family sought help from a spiritual advisor, hoping that lifting what they believed was a curse on the business might improve their situation. It didn’t. Then one day, Long and Huong were found dead in their home — and the search for who killed this elderly couple began.
