Detectives Discover Horrifying Secrets of Monster Mom
from Red Tree Crime · host Red Tree Crime
"She smiled for school photos. She baked cookies for the PTA. She tucked her children into bed every night — with pillows stained by the secrets she buried in the backyard."In this disturbing true crime episode of Grief, we investigate cases where detectives uncovered monstrous secrets hidden by seemingly ordinary mothers. From the outside, these women were the picture of maternal devotion. But behind closed doors — and beneath the floorboards — they hid crimes so dark that even seasoned investigators struggled to maintain composure.We analyze the interrogation transcripts of mothers who murdered their own children, buried bodies in crawl spaces, or starved toddlers while posting happy family photos online. What drives a mother to become a monster? Is it postpartum psychosis, personality disorders, or something even more unsettling — the slow erosion of empathy until a child becomes an inconvenience rather than a person?Featuring forensic psychologists, child protective services investigators, and the detectives who had to sit across from women who looked like everyone's mom — while knowing exactly what they'd done.Listener discretion absolutely required. This episode does not describe graphic acts, but the psychological weight is crushing.Press play, friends. The scariest monsters don't live under the bed. They live in the house next door — and they look just like you.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/red-tree-crime--6847553/support.
