CW: This episode contains graphic descriptions of physical abuse against children and adults, please use caution when listening.
Our longest episode yet tells the horrific, decades-long story of Michelle Knotek and her systematic pattern of abuse and manipulation of the people she was supposed to love and care for the most. Knotek is slated for release from prison in June of 2022, and this episode will have you asking - why should she ever be released at all?
