Episode Description:


It was supposed to be a normal family holiday — a long weekend filled with turkey, laughter, and the promise of new beginnings. But when relatives couldn’t reach Joel and Lisa Guy after Thanksgiving dinner, police arrived at their Knoxville home to find something out of a nightmare. The house was warm — too warm — and what they discovered inside would haunt investigators forever.

Who could commit something so calculated, so cold, and yet so personal? And what exactly happened between a quiet son and the parents who seemed to give him everything?

In this episode of Koltergeist, we unravel a Thanksgiving that turned into a crime scene, and the chilling story of a family’s darkest secret hidden behind closed doors.
