Episode 256 - The Serpent Keeper - The Death of Ryelee Manente-Powell

Join us, as we examine the death of Ryelee Manente-Powell. 



You’ll hear how an 18-year-old father was shot dead minutes after Angela’s discovery and how one split-second decision left a teenager dead, his mother imprisoned, and a former police officer on trial — leaving a small community to question whether it was self-defense or a calculated execution.
