Summary

The fifth season of Tenfold More Wicked is called “Blood Feud.” It’s a historical true crime story about a deadly feud between two very angry families in 1860s Virginia. The Clements were wealthy, but the Witchers were powerful. And when a Clement fell in love with a Witcher, it was trouble. A poisoned marriage sparked a violent custody battle. And soon, three members of one family would end up dead. 

Written, researched, and hosted by Kate Winkler Dawson/producers Jason Wehling, Laura Sobel, and Alexis Amorosi/sound designer Eric Friend/composer Curtis Heath/web designer Ilsa Brink
