Summary

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most brutal and heartbreaking cases in Kansas history—the Wichita Massacre. Over the course of just six days in December 2000, brothers Reginald and Jonathan Carr left a trail of unimaginable violence across the city of Wichita. Their crimes included robbery, rape, and the cold-blooded execution of five innocent people. But as horrifying as their spree was, this story is also about survival, resilience, and the strength of one woman who lived to tell the tale. We walk through every detail from the Carr brothers’ troubled upbringings to the night that forever changed five families, unpacking the disturbing twists, courtroom drama, and the legacy these crimes left behind.
