About this episode

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong dives into the case of mother-son duo Barbara and Antony Baekeland.

She harbored a dark and twisted obsession with her son – an obsession that would lead him to kill his own mother in cold blood. Candice unravels the shocking relationship between them, exploring how Barbara’s overbearing need for control ended in her downfall.
