In our longest single-part episode yet, Kristen will be telling Amanda the story of Theresa Knorr from Sacramento, California. This case truly embodies the chilling nature of our podcast name, Momicide, wherein a mother's actions go far beyond neglect or cruelty, descending into unimaginable brutality and the eventual murders of her two daughters, Suesan and Sheila. The psychological control, abuse, manipulation and dominance that Theresa's children endured will equally shock, sadden, and infuriate you. Theresa’s sons even became unwilling enforcers of her sadistic punishments, helping to facilitate the very torture and murders of their own sisters.

This isn’t just a story of maternal abuse—it’s a case study into psychological manipulation and the ripple effects of what happens when systems designed to protect children are the very thing that failed them.

Thank you as always for your support, it means the world to us. Enjoy the episode!
