His Kids Found Their Mother's Bones... He Said They Were a Possum's

Two days after their mother mysteriously vanished right before Christmas, a father took his children out to a massive ash pile on their family ranch. He pointed to the charred remains scattered in the dirt and told them they were just possum bones. He watched in cold silence as his young children picked them up. Tossing them back and forth. Completely unaware they were actually holding the remains of their own mother.

When devoted school nurse Janet Dennis first disappeared, her twelve-year-old son found her bed stuffed with pillows to make it look like she was sleeping. Her SUV was soon discovered abandoned at the airport, tragically packed with Christmas presents for her kids. Detectives initially zeroed in on her secret military boyfriend, whose bizarre behavior and failed polygraph made him the perfect suspect. But the entire case flipped when a neighbor remembered seeing a massive, black-smoke bonfire raging on her bitter ex-husband's 1,500-acre ranch the exact morning she went missing.

Investigators descended on the property and made a sickening discovery. Over 5,000 bone fragments and pieces of Janet’s favorite gold necklace were pulled from the burn pits. Her ex-husband, Leroy Dennis, had chloroformed her in her own home, staged her disappearance, and burned her body. A jury convicted him in just three hours. The only reason he escaped the death penalty was because the 12-year-old son he deeply traumatized begged the court to spare his father's life. Could you ever forgive a parent who did this?
