Episode 164 Loretta Benaderet Case Update

In this episode of The Murder in My Family, host Eric Carter-Landin discusses the heartbreaking story of Loretta Benaderet, a 76-year-old woman who was killed by her own son, David, in a 2014 murder-suicide. As the layers of this tragic case are peeled back, we learn about a long history of mental illness, abuse, and denial that ultimately led to this devastating outcome.

Loretta's daughter, Kim Adams, joins Eric in the episode to share her family's story and talk about her upcoming book, where she opens up about the years of dysfunction, isolation, and trauma that tore her family apart. Kim was previously a guest on the show back in episode 81, and if you want to listen to that episode to get the complete picture, we invite you to go back and listen to it. 

Warning: This episode includes discussions about mental illness, suicide, domestic violence, child abuse, and animal abuse. Listener discretion is advised.

Guest:
Kim Adams, sister of David and daughter of Loretta, shares her painful experience with her family's tragedy and the process of healing. She is currently working on a book about her life and this harrowing case.
