Hi everyone, welcome back. I hope you're all doing well. So the case that we are covering today is such a

0:05.7

heartbreaking case. It was actually going viral on TikTok last year. It focuses on a woman called Emily Long

0:12.1

and she was a so-called TikTok mom. Emily was a mom of three and her TikTok account consisted of her

0:18.3

posting videos like about her life, about her family, about her struggles.

0:22.2

She was very open about her mental health. Okay, so I'm sitting here and I'm cleaning up my kitchen

1:12.5

and do this for my family. And then tragically, one day a 911 call came in and a welfare check

1:19.6

was performed on the home that Emily and her family lived in. And the most horrific scene was discovered.

1:26.1

So that is the case that we are going to be talking about

1:28.0

today. So let's jump in. Emily Long was born in 1991. An exact date of birth is not known. And she grew up
