Welcome back to part 3 of the true story behind the Love & Death series on Max. In last week's episode, we discussed the affair of Candy and Allan, the beginning and end. We left off with them parting ways and really trying to work on their marriages. In this week's episode, we'll be diving into the tragedy that took place from the actions of infidelity. I will put a warning here that this episode will be graphic and not suitable for all audiences; we will be discussing the murder and details about the events leading up to and following the event.
As a working mother of two, Betty had a lot on her plate, but what really put a strain on her life was the postpartum depression she suffered after giving birth to her second daughter in 1979. She didn’t want to be alone even for a single night, which meant that when Allan had to travel out of town to St. Paul, Minnesota for a weekend for work in the summer of 1980, Betty wasn’t happy. This, combined with his wife’s usual routine of keeping their girls busy, is why Allan initially did not worry when his wife didn’t pick up his expected call from the airport on June 13, 1980.
