Episode 4 - The Third Time’s the Charm

Description

In 1995, a Memphis socialite was brutally murdered in her own home. Emily Fisher was a paragon of not only Memphis society and arts, but she was also heavily involved in charities for underprivileged youth. Ironically, her son Adrian, struggled socially. In his teens, he became heavily addicted to drugs. His parents were desperately trying to help him, and often naively welcomed his friends into their home. So Emily actually let her killer in the house. Adrian Fisher destroyed his family and himself in this real life southern gothic tragedy.
