0:00.0	Hey everyone, it's Dan Sematovic. I'm the other host of Deviant, and while Andrew's been doing an
0:05.2	amazing job of bringing the tragedy of the Hart Family Homicides to life, I've been working
0:10.6	on finding stories to tell for after we're done with this one. So stay tuned for that.
0:15.3	This is the last episode of the Heart Family Homicides. And as we've been saying, there's
0:20.3	plenty to experience with the story beyond just the podcast, to see some of the Hart Family Homicides. And as we've been saying, there's plenty to experience
0:21.3	with the story beyond just the podcast to see some of the documents and videos and hear

1:42.9	anonymous call saying Jen and Sarah are withholding food
1:45.9	from the kids. Outside that house, there are chicken coops. There are garden boxes, and there's a two-car
1:52.7	garage. Jen and Sarah buy the house on May 5th of 2017. And across the gravel driveway,
