A Thanksgiving visit. A financial ultimatum. And a son who responded with a level of violence so extreme that even veteran detectives called it "pure evil overkill."
In this episode, I uncover the horrific case of Lisa and Joel Guy — a devoted couple in Knoxville, Tennessee, who were brutally murdered by their own son over Thanksgiving weekend in 2016 [citation:1]. Joel Guy Jr., a 28-year-old college dropout who had never held a job, learned that his parents planned to cut off his financial support [citation:6]. His response was not anger. It was a meticulously planned execution.
He stabbed his father 42 times, his mother 31 times [citation:8]. He dismembered their bodies, placed their torsos in blue plastic tubs filled with a corrosive acid solution, and boiled his mother's head in a pot on the stove [citation:4]. A handwritten notebook found at the scene detailed his entire plan — from the murders to the disposal to collecting the $500,000 life insurance payout [citation:6].
Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play — because some monsters don't hide in the dark. They come home for the holidays.
