Susan and Felix Polk - Part 1

Про цей епізод

In part one of this two part episode, Tina tells the story of Susan Bolling and Felix Polk, who first met when she was 15 and he was 39. Felix was Susan’s psychotherapist who took advantage of his position and began an inappropriate sexual relationship with her. They later married and had 3 sons together before Felix was murdered by Susan in 2002. Was it self defense or cold blooded murder? Listen to this disturbing tale of psychotherapy gone wrong and intense grooming. We also discuss the satanic panic of the 1980’s and the McMartin Preschool Scandal.
