Description

Well known quadruplet parents, Jamie and Sheila Bellush moved their family to Sarasota, Florida in 1997 to live a more peaceful life away from her ex-husband, Allen Blackthorne. Allen had finally given up custody of his and Sheila's two daughters allowing them to move on in peace, or so they had hoped. Just months later a man broke into the Bellush's home in the middle of the day and brutally took Sheila's life in front of her toddlers. 
Join us for both a good laugh and cry as Elysia shares this true life tale of the monsters that walk among us and Savannah gives her insight on why professional hitmen will always require more money.
