BEN HAMM
About this episode

Alice sits down in The Secret Room with a weight on her shoulders that can never be fully lifted.  It’s the story of a mother’s utter betrayal of her daughter.  What on earth would you do if the person you're supposed to trust most in the world accused you of attempted murder?

THE SECRET ROOM | UNLOCKED 

There’s an original interview called “Mother May I” waiting for you.  Susie interviews Shannon about the mom who did not appear to be who she really was.

And next is the episode we promised you last time but had to delay. Remember Kayla from Ep 175 “Daddy's Daughter” and how the image of her perfect family was shattered by the results of a DNA kit?  She told Ben she had been planning to meet her bio dad for a while but hadn't made the connection yet.  Well, they finally met up, and Kayla's back to tell Susie how it went.
