This is a tale of two sisters, Karen and Debra.

Karen is loving, responsible, and well-liked by all who know her. She lived with and cared for her parents until they lost their battles with Alzheimer's and cancer. Karen also took care of her finances and was financially well-off for retirement.

Debra was gone for decades, living several states away in Louisiana. She never held a steady job and never had any money.

When their parents died, Debra moved back to Florida, with no money and no place to stay, and Karen let her sister move into her home.

Karen ends up wrapped in a trash bag, dumped in a hole in her backyard, a bullet in her chest. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack dig into the story.
