The Murder of Lydia Blanche Cassady | Part 2 of 4
In episode 2, Carolyn Hundley describes plans that were discussed that would help Lydia leave the relationship she was in with Kenneth Strange. Those plans included using funds from Lydia’s father’s estate, after he passed away in October 2021. Oddly enough, Lydia’s murderer had other plans for her money.
We learn that after her father’s death, and Ken’s constant insistence that he spend the estate money, Lydia’s demeanor toward Ken changed dramatically, as if she was through with him and the relationship.
In the weeks leading up to the murder, Lydia gets a job, offering some financial independence, new friends and relationships and bolsters her confidence.
In our interview, another woman comes into the picture, Ken leans in harder with wedding plans and Carolyn describes seeing her sister, for the last time.
