Case Number 92: The Alleged Crimes of Candy Montgomery

Unsatisfied in her marriage, Candy's eye wandered towards fellow church member and friend, Allan Gore. Allan loved his wife, Betty, and had no interest in leaving her, but he could not stop thinking about Candy after she admitted she was attracted to him and thought he might be the one to fulfill her desires.

The two went on to have an affair that likely made their marriages look spontaneous. It wasn't quite the boundless passion Candy had hoped for physically but they had grown quite close confiding in one another. Eventually, Allan realized he must end the affair if he hoped to save his marriage. Months after it ended Candy and Betty were alone when Betty ended up dead from 41 axe strikes.

Tune in to hear Savannah recall Candy's account in all her dramatic glory and Elysia is traumatized by visuals of both the affair and Betty's murder.
