What Got a Working Mother Buried Alive? Delois Anderson | Tony Carruthers' Triple Murder Case
from Cycles That Kill · host Dr. Dylesia, DSW, LCSW
Thirty years ago, 43-year-old Delois Anderson was abducted from her Memphis home, taken to a cemetery, and buried alive alongside her son and his teenage friend. While public attention has focused on the men connected to the crime, almost nobody has stopped to ask about Delois herself. In this episode of Cycles That Kill, Dr. Dylesia uses her clinical framework, Origin Mapping, to explore the intergenerational beliefs, survival strategies, and family dynamics that may have shaped Delois’ life. This is not just a story about a triple murder, it's a story about a working mother, the loyalty she may have inherited from the women before her, and the deadly consequences of family rules that go unexamined.
