In June 2024, just last year, in Harrow Ontario, Carly Stannard-Walsh, 41, and her children, 13-year-old Madison and 8-year-old Hunter, were found dead in their house. They had all been shot. Their husband and father Steven Walsh was also found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound and had killed his whole family before taking his own life.

Join us as we uncover the grim tale of the Fox family from Castle Daly, Ireland, forever etched in the annals of true crime history. In this heart-wrenching episode, we honor the memories of Debbie Fox and her two young sons, Trevor and Killian, whose lives were brutally taken by Debbie's husband, Gregory Fox, in 2001. With insights from Nicola Tallant's compelling book, "Flesh and Blood," we explore the chilling realities of coercive control that shattered this family's world, while challenging the pervasive narratives that often blame victims rather than holding abusers accountable.This is the story of the Fox Family.
