About this episode

This episode explores the tragic case of Gregory Green, who, after being paroled for murdering his first wife, committed another horrific crime against his second family.

In 1991, Gregory Green brutally murdered his pregnant wife, stabbing her to death inside their home while her children hid nearby. Despite the severity of the crime, he was sentenced to 15–25 years and was eventually released on parole after serving 16 years. He appeared to rebuild his life. He remarried. He became part of a church community. He had more children. But behind closed doors… the same patterns began to emerge. In 2016, as his second wife prepared to leave him, Gregory Green carried out a second act of unimaginable violence...killing four children and forcing their mother to witness it. This episode explores not just what happened… but how it was allowed to happen.
