The Backstory: Murder and the Family Next Door

About this episode

The episode explores unexpected murder cases that challenge our perceptions of safety.

We comfort ourselves by thinking that murder is something that happens to people when they aren’t careful about when, where, and who they mix it up with. But sometimes, as in these two cases, the scariest stories are actually the ones you don’t see coming.
