The Gonzales Family Murders

Not Your Mom Media
About this episode

Welcome back! This week we are headed to the land down under to discuss the murders of the Gonzales family in Australia. What would drive a seemingly normal young adult to kill his entire family? Hint: greed, and being an overall terrible human.

 

Join Melissa and Mandy as they discuss some really fascinating details about the family, their lives before the murders and what insanely creepy thing the killer did at the funeral in memory of his family.
