30: The Perfect Mother - Deanna Laney of Texas
from Shades of Murder · host Alita Cauldwell
On Mother’s Day weekend in 2003, in Tyler County, Texas, a mother of three small children called 911 to report that her sons had been attacked. The weapons used and the confession of the perpetrator would shock and horrify the residents of this tiny close-knit Christian town. Perhaps the only thing more terrifying than the murders themselves were the reasons behind them. *NOTE: Technically, Deanna Laney lived in the town of New Chapel Hill, which is part of Tyler County. Since some sources conflicted with where she resided, I used Tyler since it is the greater metro area.Please support the show, and make sure to follow, share, rate, and leave a review.
