About this listen

This podcast details the tragic murder of Candace Leanne Morris in July 2019, focusing on the investigation and subsequent conviction of her 16-year-old son, Tanner Morris. The sources explain how Candace's death, initially staged to appear as an overdose, was revealed to be strangulation, leading police to suspect Tanner. The narrative explores the complex mother-son relationship, Tanner's jealousy over his mother's new boyfriend, and the potential influence of a religious neighbor, Leslie Brantley, who was initially suspected of aiding in the cover-up but never charged. Ultimately, Tanner's journal entries and confession secured his conviction for second-degree murder, resulting in a 30-year prison sentence.
