Juliana Peres Magalhães was working as an Au Pair for Christine and Brendan Banfield, who lived in the suburbs of Washington, DC. In February 2023, she was taking their 4-year-old daughter to the National Zoo when she realized she forgot their pre-packed lunches in the fridge. When she pulled back up to the house she saw a strange man walking inside with a bag. What started as a typical workday turned into pure chaos -- leaving 2 people dead. What begins as a frantic 911 call soon unravels into a web of secrets, hidden relationships, and a story far more complex than it first appears.
