Content Warning: Child Abuse and MurderWhat would you do if you discovered that your spouse was sexually abusing your child? For married mother of two, Marlene Oakes, this was her horrific reality. She couldn't stay with a man like that so demanded a divorce from her husband of 9 years, William Major. She threatened to reveal his secret if he refused. But she didn't have the chance to escape with children before she mysteriously disappeared.Website: https://thestudentsverdict.wixsite.com/mysiteTwitter: @studentverdictInstagram: @thestudentverdictblogEmail: thestudentverdict@gmail.comAvailable on Spreaker, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Podbean and Google PlayMusic is Drumming in the Rain Instrumental by Chad CrouchResources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Marlene_Oakeshttps://caselaw.findlaw.com/ky-supreme-court/1301658.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMEnkLdHx78https://www.rapsheetz.com/kentucky/doc-prisoner/MAJOR_WILLIAM/54794https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verona,_Kentuckyhttps://caselaw.findlaw.com/ky-supreme-court/1165049.html
