De familie Hargan heeft zich verzameld om van een rechercheur het vreselijke nieuws te horen over twee van hun familieleden. Pamela Hargan en haar jongste dochter Helen zijn dood aangetroffen. Het lijkt erop dat Helen haar moeder heeft doodgeschoten en daarna zichzelf. Maar al snel vallen er gaten in dit scenario en komt een ander familielid in beeld als de dader. Dat er uitstekende geluidsopnames zijn gemaakt vanaf het allereerste begin, tilt dit tragische truecrimeverhaal uit boven het gemiddelde. Zelfs de dader, die dan nog niet is ontmaskerd, is met een sloot aan krokodillentranen vastgelegd.
Millionaire businesswoman Pamela Hargan and her youngest daughter Helen are found dead in their family home in McLean, Virginia. The strange and haunting crime scene puzzled investigators – was it a murder-suicide or was it staged to look like one? There was conflicting evidence all around. 48 Hours correspondent Peter Van Sant examines the suspenseful case in this 6-episode series, “Blood is Thicker: The Hargan Family Killings”. Detectives try to untangle mixed motives from mother-daughter discord, to sibling rivalry, jealousy and a family fortune. Find out if blood is really thicker when it comes to the Hargan family.
How to make sense of this incomprehensible tragedy? Detective Brian Byerson has been in touch with Ashley Hargan weekly since her mother and sister were killed. She not only testified at trial; she made some dramatic moves after she discovered the truth.
