Do we really know who our neighbors are?The Watt family was disliked and feared by everyone in the neighborhood. People had no idea what ACTUALLY went on inside the Watt’s house was something out of a horror film. The victim in this case was a vulnerable adult, Michael Gilbert. No matter what they did to him, he said he loved them and they were his family. This story is heartbreaking and grisly.A listener from the UK suggested this case and I appreciate them for bringing this story to my attention.Promo: 10 Minute True CrimeThank you to today's sponsor, Athletic Greens!
