Kelley and Thomas Clayton

Over deze aflevering

Kelley Clayton, a 35-year-old mother of two, was brutally murdered in her Caton, New York home on September 28, 2015. The attack appeared staged as a home invasion, but nothing was stolen and there was no forced entry. One of Kelley’s children witnessed part of the horrific scene, helping lead investigators toward the truth.

The case revealed secret affairs, financial motives, shifting confessions, and a community devastated by the betrayal.<br /><br />Today's snack: <a
