Chronicle 72: "Suspension Sparks Murder"

This episode is rated a 5 (on my Serious Crime Scale). After college student Sydney Powell was placed on academic suspension at the University of Mount Union for poor grades, she dreaded telling her parents the news. So when her mother, Brenda Powell, called the college to get some answers, Sydney flew into a rage and brutally killed Brenda. But here’s the primary question: Was the murder due to a psychotic break that had been building in Sydney for months? Or, was it more sinister than that? A killing to keep her mom from finding out her secret: that she was no longer attending the private school for which her parents had paid so much. Listen now to hear the full story.
