In this week’s episode, Kat explores the story of Lisa Knoefel, a woman who opened her home to offer safety, stability, and a second chance.

Instead, she brought something far more dangerous inside.

In November 2012, Lisa was killed in her own home—but what followed would reveal something far more calculated… and far more personal.

And the person responsible might not be who you think.
