A Strangely Murderous Grudge - Fayette, Maine

About this episode

The episode discusses a brutal murder in Fayette, Maine, where the investigation initially focuses on the wrong suspect despite the real killer being known from the start.

This week, in Fayette, Maine, a man comes home from a double shift, to find his wfe, brutally murdered, and his baby, crawling around in pools of blood. The problem is, they have no enemies, and robbery doesn't appear to be the motive. The husband is cleared as a suspect, leading to a long investigation, focused on the wrong man, even though the real killer was a suspect, from the start. But due to mistakes, he was allowed to terrorize even more innocent people!! Along the way, we find out that "deer watching" is an actual festival activity in Maine, that even if you have no enemies, you still may never be safe, and that when you let a killer go free, for over a decade, they have a chance to ruin even more lives!!
