About this listen

 Custody is supposed to protect children — not bury them. In this harrowing episode, forensic psychologists Dana Anderson and Craig Wetterer expose the fatal fallout of high-conflict family court battles. Drawing from firsthand experience as a court-appointed evaluator, Dr. Anderson breaks down how custody disputes can spiral into calculated violence. True cases include:
  • A mother who fatally stabbed her son after a court-approved Disneyland trip — then calmly called 911.
  • A woman who had her child’s father executed just hours after a judge granted him shared custody.
  • A 20-year-old father gunned down in Mississippi over a custody fight.
  • A double murder during a custody deposition at a Las Vegas law firm.
Because in family court, the most dangerous thing isn’t losing custody — it’s what someone will do to avoid it.
