What happens when the person you should be safest with becomes the person you never saw coming?

In 2007, thirteen-year-old Paris Bennett was intelligent, articulate, and seemingly devoted to his family. But behind that carefully composed exterior was something his mother, Charity Lee, could never have imagined.

One night would leave four-year-old Ella Bennett dead, a family shattered, and investigators facing an almost impossible question: How does a thirteen-year-old become a killer?

This week, we’re digging into the disturbing case of Paris Bennett—the events leading up to Ella’s murder, the chilling aftermath, the questions surrounding Paris’s motives, and the mother who has spent the years since trying to understand the unimaginable.

This case involves the death of a young child and other sensitive subject matter. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

Grab your snacks, lock your doors, and settle in, besties. This one is deeply unsettling.
