Episode 65: The Sisterhood Of Torture (Case of Michelle Knotek)
They knew something was different about their family. The sisters saw it. They had guests doing chores - completely nude - in the house. Guests being duct taped to the walls.
They had a man jumping from their roof onto his bare feet over and over again. Until his legs broke.
Even all this pain - was nothing compared to the humiliation and psychological torture taking place… what was really going on here? Who would finally tell?
