Episode Description

Before the jury heard from the women at the center of the case, the prosecution brought in a “blind expert” to reframe how their stories would be understood: Dr. Dawn Hughes. With insight from clinical experts, Shari Botwin, LCSW and Dr. Daniel Bober, a forensic psychologist, this episode explores the most uncomfortable question at the heart of the case: Why didn’t they leave?

Featuring interviews with: Shari Botwin, LCSW and Dr. Daniel Bober
