About this episode

The episode explores the brutal ax murder of Peter Porco and the subsequent investigation that led to the conviction of his son, Christopher Porco.

In November 2004, the quiet community of Delmar, New York, was shattered by a brutal late-night attack on Joan and Peter Porco. While Peter tragically succumbed to his injuries after attempting his morning routine, Joan survived to offer a chilling clue to investigators. Join Tyrella and Nikita as they deconstruct the circumstantial evidence, the 200-mile highway trail, and the complex family dynamics that led to the conviction of their youngest son, Christopher Porco. Did he really kill his father and attempt to murder his mother? Want access to our first 45 episodes? Grab em here! We've made them available for free to anyone who signs up!
