About this episode
In this episode of True Crimecast, we uncover the chilling story of Charles H. Ellis, a small-town man murdered in 1986 by his own son, Charles T. Ellis. What seemed like a tragic accident was revealed to be a cold and calculated crime, involving antifreeze-laced iced tea, financial fraud, and eerie claims of cult rituals. With connections to reality TV star Amy Halterman of 1000-Lb. Sisters, this case resurfaces decades later, raising haunting questions about betrayal, greed, and family secrets. Join us as we explore this deeply unsettling story and its lasting impact.
