273: Five Friends Horrifically Terrorize...

10 to LIFE & Audioboom Studios
About this episode
This week on Serialously with Annie Elise, it started as an ordinary night among friends—but ended in one of the most harrowing and brutal crimes in modern history. In December 2000, five friends in Wichita, Kansas were suddenly ambushed in their own home by two armed intruders. Over the course of several hours, they were terrorized, humiliated, and forced to do the unthinkable to one another, all while being driven to their own execution. What unfolded was a chilling display of cruelty and control, known today as the Wichita Massacre. Why were they targeted—and how did one survivor live to tell the story?
