Ep 173: Pt. 1- KILLER IN THE HOUSE, 'Lying in Wait' -by Kathryn Canavan

Part 1: Trevose, Pennsylvania, 1976—a safe, middle-class suburb where children slept under the stars and front doors remained unlocked. This idyllic peace was shattered when a brutal massacre claimed the lives of the Abt family, marking one of the most horrific crimes in the state's history. The killer meticulously planned the deaths of six people, leaving the community paralyzed with fear and demanding answers. Enter Kathryn Canavan, a determined young journalist thrust into the heart of a chaotic media storm. In a landscape devoid of cell phones and the internet, the Bensalem Police Department had to rely on old-fashioned grit to piece together a slow-burning mystery before the killer—or killers—could strike again.  Subscribe so you do not miss Part 2, 3, and Jill's exclusive interview with author, Kathryn Canavan!   Buy Kathryn Canavan's book, Killer in the House: Ten Days of Terror in the Pennsylvania Suburbs on AMAZON or BARNES and NOBLE.
