160. First, let me Pray: HOMICIDE
About this episode
Becky and Bevy discuss the tragic case of Laura Ackerson, a young mother caught in a custody battle that led to violence.
Today on LOTW, Becky and Bevy discuss a case that unfortunately has a motive that is all too common. Laura Ackerson was a young mother caught in the middle of a custody battle that consumed her life. She tried to balance raising her children with the tension of a fractured relationship, navigating visits and exchanges that were anything but ordinary. One summer day, she agreed to a home visit that seemed out of place — a decision shaped by the push and pull of control, promises, and pressure. What happened after that visit would leave investigators piecing together a story of love, conflict, and violence that stretched far beyond the walls of that house.
