Hey yall! Today we are visiting a small suburban town in California known as being the Pumpkin Capital of the World. (How fitting for this time of year!)
But that's where the wholesome details stop...
Kathleen McGehee was the epitome of a supermom. She homeschooled her four children and dedicated her life to taking care of her family. One of her sons, Dawson, always took advantage of her compassion and generosity. If he wasn't the center of Kathleen's attention, he wasn't happy and he would do anything to make himself the center of her life.
From leaving messes for Kathleen to clean to faking illnesses, Dawson's pettiness and jealously knew no limits. That combined with mental illness lead to a deadly Halloween night.
