Ep 12. Killer Secret

In Ice Cold Blood season 2 episode 12 is titled "Killer Secret". This episode explores the story of a seemingly perfect family from the quiet town of Pocatello, Idaho, where the murder of a beloved mother and her daughter shocks the entire community.

On the surface, Donna and Darlene Wasson were living the American Dream, enjoying the comfort of middle-class life with their caring husband and father, Brent Wasson. However, beneath the façade of domestic bliss, a web of secrets and lies was brewing.

As investigators delve deeper into the crime scene, they are stunned to find that the killer had left behind very little evidence. They also discover that the Wassons had been normalizing some rather odd behavior in the family. Brent Wasson had been secretly filming his daughters as they undressed in their bedroom and bathroom.

In addition, the authorities uncovered a sinister plan to silence Donna and Darlene, hatched by none other than Brent.

The episode takes us through the perplexing yet compelling life story of the Wasson family, revealing many startling facts and hidden secrets. Law officers collect incriminating statements from Brent's colleagues and neighbors, indicating that he had been strange from the days of his youth. The police also find an alarming and timely connection to a chilling case of murder several states away. As they continue to unravel the mystery of the heinous crime, it becomes clear that nothing in the Wasson household is as it seems.

In the middle of the chaos surrounding the murder investigation, Brent's mother, sister Dana, struggles to come to terms with the unspeakable crime committed by her brother. Despite the overwhelming evidence against him, Dana desperately searches for a way to prove his innocence, even as Brent is charged and brought to trial.

As Brent's trial approaches, the prosecution attempts to paint a clear picture of the motive behind the murders: money. Prosecutors present strong evidence to support their theory that Brent killed his wife and daughter to eliminate their inheritance from their grandparents. Meanwhile, Brent's defense team tries to convince the jury of Brent's innocence, claiming that he had no motive and was physically incapable of committing the gruesome acts.

Throughout the episode, viewers are taken on a rollercoaster ride, full of twists and turns. It's an engrossing tale of greed, family secrets, and shocking betrayal.
