Episode 120: The Bain Family Murders | The One Who Deserved to Stay Part I

On June 20, 1994 all but one member of the Bain Family has been murdered in their dilapidated home in Dunedin, New Zealand. A one sentence suicide note remained, it read: Sorry, you are the only one that deserved to stay. So was that it? Had Robin Bain murdered murdered his wife, three of his four children, and then turn the gun on himself? Or had this been the plan of the surviving member of the Bain family, the eldest child, David? Join us as we get into detail about the Bain Family and cover the discovery of their bodies on that June morning.

Part II will be released on 1/23
