Something unexpected happened after Jeremy Scott confessed to killing Michelle Schofield in Bone Valley Season 1. Every time I hear about my dad, it's, oh, he's a killer. He's just straight evil. I was becoming the bridge between Jeremy Scott and the son he'd never known. At the end of the day, I'm literally a son of a killer.

Explore the winding halls of historical true crime with Holly Fry and Maria Tremarcki, hosts of Criminalia, as they uncover curious cases from the past. The legend of the highwayman suggests men dominated the field, but tell that to Lady Catherine Ferrars, known as the Wicked Lady, who terrorized England in the mid-1600s.

One of the last things I said to her was, when you go into that courtroom, you have to pick a side to sit on. You can sit with your daughter or you can sit with your husband. And I hope that you're able to make the right choice.
I'm Andrea Gunning, and this is a special bonus episode of Betrayal. A few months ago, we got an email from a listener that stood out to our team. We're going to call this listener Elizabeth. She had watched season two of Betrayal on Hulu, which tells the story of a stepdaughter that was violated by her stepfather. Elizabeth wrote to us because the same thing was playing out in her own life, or rather, in her best friend's life. Elizabeth and her friend, we'll call her Sarah, have been close for 13 years. They used to live in the same apartment building. Their daughters were around the same age. Sarah was raising her daughter with her new husband, who became her stepdad, the only father her daughter knew.
Elizabeth and Sarah's families became close. They planned joint family vacations and shared holidays. Elizabeth felt like an aunt to Sarah's daughter, who is now 19. A few months ago, Sarah texted Elizabeth, saying she needed to talk. It was an emergency.
She basically just started sobbing and told me everything. She had been in the car with her daughter that day and she had said something about her husband breaking a pattern of abuse because he was abused, sexually abused as a child. And she was so glad he was breaking the pattern of abuse. And that was when her daughter decided she couldn't take it anymore. And she had to tell her. Sarah's daughter shared that her stepfather had sexually abused her. It started in 2016 for her, so she was 11 years old.
After Sarah found out, she confronted her husband. And he admitted to everything.
