Mike Boudet

His brother, sister, cousin, and sad little dog

all survived the incident and remained in the care of their mother, Tania Plummer.

So here is the question.

Did Jalen inherit the same demons that haunted Michael?

Was this demonic possession some sort of poltergeist in this house of horror?

Or do we accept a more rational explanation?

Did Jalen learn violence by watching his uncle in and out of his life, bringing stories of abuse and death with him?

Did Diane really change into the person neighbors claimed, or did the darkness inside that house simply go unnoticed until it exploded again?

Did the systems America has in place fail both of these men?

Or did society simply stop asking the hard questions and stop doing the hard things once the bodies were found?

In the end, does it all really matter anyway?

It should.

We all have this feeling in the back of our mind that it should.

We should do better at raising all of our children.

We should have a safer and happier and more mentally sound civilization.

It started with the allegations of abuse at the hands of one woman.

Two men carried it forward and three innocent women, in addition to Diane herself, paid the ultimate price.

Not one of them deserved to die.

That's going to do it this week.

Thank you for joining us.
