About this listen

In this shocking true crime case, influencer mother Tessa Alder from Utica, New York was arrested and convicted for the poisoning death of her 13-year-old son, Garten Alder, in May 2025. Garten, who suffered from multiple medical conditions, was drugged and overfed sugar through his feeding tube in a calculated plot to create viral online content for her 118,000-follower parenting account and pursue sponsorship deals. This episode of True Crime Case Files examines the investigation, including suspicious nurses, family warnings, online manipulation, and Munchausen syndrome by proxy, and follows the police investigation, shocking trial, guilty verdict, and life after sentencing. Discover the full story of child abuse, medical fraud, and social media exploitation, as detectives uncover the chilling truth behind one mother’s deadly obsession.
