EP124: Natalie & Chase DeBlase - The Princess and the Shadow

Single father John DeBlase was given an ultimatum by his pregnant
girlfriend Heather Keaton. She demanded full authority to
discipline his 5-year-old daughter Natalie and 3-year-old son Chase
as she saw fit, or she would leave him. Heather hated his children
and for months John stood by and allowed them to endure torturous
punishments for the most minor offenses. The last time anyone saw
Natalie alive was in March of 2010. Little Chase disappeared on
Father's Day of that year. Find out what happened to Natalie and
Chase DeBlase in this week's episode of Crimes and
Consequences.
