It's Murder, Y'all - Ep 15 - The Santa Claus Murders (Pt. 1)
play

12/23/23 • 53 min

When 3 little girls are found wandering in the cold 50 miles from their home of Santa Claus, no one could have imagined the horrors that they survived and the horrors that would be found in their home on Dasher Street.

In Part 1, we discuss the life of Kim (Lampp/Driggers) Daniels, who went from foster care to drug addict to losing her children to turning her life around and becoming a foster parent. She felt that God had called her to provide a loving home to children who needed help. She never could've known what one of those kids was capable of.
