EP129: The Death of Lauren McConniel

When Ryan McConniel married Brittany Lee in October 2007, he
brought his daughters from his first marriage with him. Ryan
believed that Brittany would make a wonderful stepmother to his
girls, and he trusted her to care for them while he worked
full-time. Toward the end of 2009, Lauren began exhibiting
disturbing behaviors, ones that Brittany blamed on the abuse Lauren
supposedly suffered at the hands of her mother. Brittany always had
an explanation for bruises and problems Lauren had, and even though
Ryan knew better, he turned a blind eye to Lauren's increasing
deterioration. Listen to this week's episode to hear more about the
sad and terrible death of 5-year-old Lauren McConniel.
