532: Mommy's Little Helper (from "Mother, May I Murder?")
In April 2012, 61-year-old Mark Staudte died on the floor of his home. When the authorities arrived, his wife, Diane, seemed.. .unphased. And the kids were playing video games in the living room. It was... odd. Even odder was when the Staudte son, Sean, ALSO DIED FIVE MONTHS LATER. Shortly thereafter, SEAN'S SISTER SARA WAS ALSO IN THE HOSPITAL DYING OF ORGAN FAILURE. Again, Diane had no questions. So what in the ever loving hell was going on here? You're about to find out, Fam, by way of SOME OF THE MOST CHILLING POLICE INTERROGATION VIDEO WE'VE EVER SEEN. So, you know, may the force be with you.Find and watch "Mother, May I Murder? Mommy's Little Helper" on HBO Max
