About this episode

The episode explores the shocking case of Blanche Taylor Moore, who was charged with attempted murder despite being perceived as a sweet, Christian lady.

(Part 2 of 2) When the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation opened an investigation and Blanche was charged with the attempted murder, the arrest came as a shock to those who knew her. How was it possible that someone they all knew as “a sweet, Christian lady”—was an attempted murderer? And if she had been cunning enough to hide that side of herself from her community, what else had she been hiding?
