Episode 72: Buried in the Backyard - The Diabolical Web of Kwaneta Harris

"When the men asked her how large she needed the hole, she answered: “as big as me.””

In the Fall of 2007, when a VA Agent contacted the Garland, Texas, police department about a suspicious-looking piece of concrete on a property, what lay beneath it would unfold into a roller coaster of an investigation. A missing person whose family didn’t realize that they had disappeared. A mysterious woman who claimed to be the home’s new owner. And the revealing of one of the most diabolical plots of murder.
