🎙 Episode 84: “Debora Green — The Doctor Who Prescribed Her Own Destruction” (Part of the Mothers Who Kill Arc)

Deborah Green was a brilliant physician, a mother, and a woman seemingly in control—until everything around her began to collapse.
Beneath the facade of success and stability, resentment, betrayal, and emotional unraveling festered.
In this episode, we peel back the layers of a woman who burned down her own world—both figuratively and literally.

When arson and poisoning collide with a crumbling marriage, the result is a tragedy that devastates an entire family—and exposes how slow, calculated destruction can hide in plain sight.
