Due to the nature of this case, listener discretion is advised.

This episode includes discussions of domestic violence and murder.

Consider this when deciding how and when you'll listen.

To get help on domestic violence,

visit Spotify.com slash resources. If you're a long time listener of this show, you'll know that we come into every episode with some big questions.

Most importantly, what can we learn about someone's life that

might shed light on their motive in committing multiple murders? And maybe just

as complex, how does the full story change our understanding of true justice?

In the case of Betty Lou Beets, those answers weren't easy to get at.

In these episodes, we lay out the facts in hopes of determining

whether those crimes are a product of her own devious mind or of her traumatic life.

Depending on where you come down on that,

the answer to this next question

might be pretty easy.

Or it might be one that keeps you up at night.
