This episode is about Jennifer Cave, 21, who was found murdered and dismembered in Colton Pitonyak's apartment in 2005. Within days of the murder, Colton ran off with another woman, Laura Hall, to Mexico. When questioned why she didn't turn Colton in, Laura tells us that she was afraid of Colton, and that she, too, was another victim. She claims she was innocent of any involvement in the death or dismemberment of Jennifer Cave.
Yet when you watch and listen to Laura's story, there are a lot of red flags. Share the red flags you see when watching Laura speak in the comment section below. I will share my thoughts there as well...

I just saw the 48 hours account of this travesty. I see two victims in all this- Jenniffer Cave and Lauren Hall. I'm a psychiatrist, and see humanity play out on a daily basis. Reality, unfortunately is often made tragic by misinterpretation. People commonly misinterpret and pervert reality when they view the world and others through their own faulty lenses. I can understand the anger of the Cave family, but I can also understand the anger of Lauren Hall towards the Cave family for misdirecting their grief at Lauren Hall, who in reality is a victim of the same man who murdered their daughter. Lauren Hall is far from a psychopath. She went into a state of shock and paranoia when she saw the dead body. She was afraid for her life, and acted in the best way she knew how to act for a girl her age, with a background of victimization and emotional mistreatment. She inherently has a kind heart, but her road of emotional pain led her to be attracted to a real psychopath. Ironically, the jury bought the real psychopath's story, and chose to revictimize the already emotionally battered Lauren Hall. The fact that the man who murdered Cave charmed the Jury and the Cave family into believing Hall was guilty of such an atrocity only solidifies my belief that he is the real psychopath in all this, and indeed Lauren Hall is just another victim. A human tragedy all around. Everyone in this one was the victim of a psychopath murderer- Jennifer Cave, Lauren Hall, the parents of Jennifer Cave, the DA, the Jury. HE alone has the last laugh. Such a sad story. I hope Lauren Hall finds redemption. I hope that some day she gets to go to law school, becomes a lawyer, and fights for the innocent and the victimized, those who are so often sacrificed by humanity in the name of humanity.
