Episode 233: The Brutal Murder of Margaret Sumney
After her first marriage to the father of her daughters, Margaret married David Sumney. The two soon welcomed their son, David Jr. Little David was doted on by his whole family, and had everything he wanted. He grew up accustomed to the finer things and it appeared he believed when he wanted something, it had to be his. This attitude turned violent toward his parents, resulting in a severe attack against his father and several attacks against his mother. When Margaret’s family tried to reach her to notify her of the death of her brother, they couldn’t reach her. A welfare check revealed that Margaret had been tortured over several days, and the killer was her own son. His phone revealed a sinister version of events. (TW: animal abuse/death, suicidal attempts, domestic/familial abuse)
