Episode 79: The FaceBook Killers (Case of The Potter Family)
What would you do if someone unfriended you on Facebook?
You probably wouldn’t even notice. Maybe you confront them. Or maybe you sneak into their house and brutally murder them and their significant other…
How dare they unfriend you on Facebook? This case is filled with twists, delusions, social media drama, and so much cat-fishing that you start to believe there’s no way this is real.
But you know what they say - social media can be deadly.
