This is a follow up Addendum to Episode 73, The Tale of Stacey Barker. We are going over a couple of topics regarding the cases included in this episode that were discussed in the Facebook group, specifically the letter that Tom Findlay wrote to Susan Smith, as well as a discussion we had regarding mothers who kill vs. fathers who kill. Thank you to all the Facebook Group members who contributed to these two discussions.
