Summary
This is a tale of two sisters, Karen and Debra.
Karen is loving, responsible, and well-liked by all who know her. She lived with and cared for her parents until they lost their battles with Alzheimer's and cancer. Karen also took care of her finances and was financially well-off for retirement.
Debra was gone for decades, living several states away in Louisiana. She never held a steady job and never had any money.
When their parents died, Debra moved back to Florida, with no money and no place to stay, and Karen let her sister move into her home.
Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack dig into the story of how the evil sister murdered the good sister with a bullet to the chest, wrapped her body in a trash bag, and buried her in a hole in the backyard.
