Ep. 158 - The Jupiter, Florida Thanksgiving Murders

Send us a text

In Thanksgiving 2009, Muriel and Jimmy Sitton hosted Thanksgiving dinner for their extended family. The day would have been perfect—if two of their relatives hadn’t secretly invited their rage-filled son who wasn’t supposed to come. Paul Michael Merhige arrived at the gathering that day with an evil plan, taking the lives of family members Makayla Sitton, Raymonde Joseph, Carla Merhige, and Lisa Knight.
