About this episode
Today's episode is on child star Ryan Grantham, best known for his roles in Riverdale, Diary of a Wimpy Kid & Supernatural, took a sharp turn when his acting roles dried out in early 2020. He fell into psychosis and began spending all his time alone in his bedroom planning mass murder. He was aiming big, hoping to assassinate the prime minister Justin Trudeau, but he would start small - in his own home, murdering his own mother.
