S6 Ep17: Annihilator

Family is supposed to mean everything to a person, it's what we are raised in and grow with, it's what we go on to have ourselves, what we nurture, and what we are supposed to love and protect with our all.

But not everybody feels this, do they? This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, there comes a tale of true horror from the turn of this century - where you'll see just how little family meant to one individual.

The tale is an unforgettable one.

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving in part crimes against children and descriptions of animal cruelty/slaughter, that some listeners may find disturbing and/or upsetting, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
