About this episode
The episode discusses the suspicious death of Joanna Hunter and her brother Joe's quest to prove it was murder.
When Joanna Hunter died in her home in 2011, it took the cops less than 30 minutes to rule the death a suicide. Mostly because her husband said that that's what happened. No crime scene was preserved and no investigation was done. The case was closed, but Joanna's family never accepted the suicide ruling. They knew all too well about the years of abuse Joanna had suffered at the hands of her husband and all of the times she tried to leave him. Her brother Joe, who was Joanna's best friend, is on a mission to proved that his sister was murdered AND OH MY GOD SO ARE WE FAM. We are unwell. Join us as we scream our way through this one.
