Summary
Tucker Reed was on track to be a household name, but not for the reason anyone expected. Born into a family of New York Times best-selling authors, she landed a six-figure book deal before she was old enough to drink and even starred in an independent horror film that would take on a whole new meaning once people found out what she was really up to.
But behind the book deals and film sets was a family tangled in money problems, restraining orders, and one explosive inheritance dispute that turned deadly. And at the center of it all? A recorded moment that completely unraveled the official story.
This episode breaks down the rise and fall of Tucker Reed, the events that led to her arrest, and why her biggest on-screen role mirrored real life a little too well.

| 0:52.3 | tangled in a legal battle, accused of something a little more serious than bad writing. |
| 0:57.0 | Her family had money problems. Her uncle had opinions about those money problems, |
| 1:02.0 | and let's just say that their last conversation didn't end in a handshake. |
| 1:07.0 | By the time the cameras were rolling on her indie horror film, Tucker had already lived through a scene |
