Summary
Pamela Hagan lived in a quiet, wealthy Virginia suburb, surrounded by family: her daughters Megan, Helen, and her granddaughter lived with her in her million-dollar home. From the outside, the Hargan women had it all. But even though there was love, there were also grievances. When Pamela and Helen were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide, detectives had to ask: what was going on inside the Hargan household?
