Summary
On a quiet night in Las Vegas, Nevada, a frantic 911 call reported a home invasion that left a woman dead in her own hallway.
At first, it looked like a robbery gone wrong.
But as investigators began to examine the scene, small details started to surface… details that didn’t quite fit the story they had been given.
And as the truth slowly came into focus, it revealed something far more calculated and far more disturbing than anyone expected.

| 1:15.6 | Thank you. The Minds of Madness podcast. Listener discretion is advised. There's a very specific moment in almost every great crime film called The Exchange, and the basic rules are always the same, no matter the setup. |
