Abuse. Manipulation. Adoption. Incest. Murder.

Alyssa Pladl was love bombed and manipulated by Steven Pladl when she was only 15 years old. She became pregnant but within months of their daughter's birth, she realized she needed to put the baby up for adoption. Eighteen years later, Katie Fusco reconnected with her birth parents.

Join me this week as I discuss the movie Husband Father Killer: The Alyssa Pladl Story.
