Son Sits Down to Thanksgiving Dinner Then Dissolves His Parents

The smell of decay reached officers before they even entered the Knoxville home, a house locked from the inside with something "warm and wrong" moving within its walls. Lisa Guy, a relentlessly reliable accounts payable administrator, had vanished, and her silence was an alarm. What horrors did investigators uncover inside, and how did a seemingly normal family gathering turn into a scene requiring federal intervention?

In this episode, we delve into the methodical planning and chilling execution of a double murder, exploring the timeline of purchases and preparations that began weeks before Thanksgiving. We examine the motive behind a son's unthinkable act and the crucial evidence that painted a picture of calculated violence, not impulse.
