Suzanne Morphew went missing on Mother's Day last year, and her husband, Barry Morphew, has since been charged with her murder. Up until the past few days, the public has had little insight on what led law enforcement to arrest Barry.

11. Family Annihilator: Ronnie O'Neal Aug 04, 2021

Show notes

On March 19, 2018 law enforcement responded to a domestic disturbance only to find 33-year-old Kenyatta Barron and her 9-year-old daughter Ron'Niveya O'Neal had been brutally murdered; and 8-year-old Ronnie Jr. had sustained life-threatening injuries. With their one and only suspect still on the scene, Ronnie O'Neal was taken into custody and charged with murdering his girlfriend and daughter and attempting to murder his son. Ronnie Jr. would go on to be the star witness against his father, resulting in a guilty verdict. Rarely do these cases have any sort of silver lining, but Ronnie Jr's story does.
