About this episode
After Doug Janis was murdered in 2020, police were focused on one suspect: his wife, 31-year-old April Mae Janis.
Was April a loving wife who adored Doug or a master manipulator who orchestrated his murder? In Hemphill, Texas, it depends on who you ask. Half the town thinks that April was this vixen who has murdered multiple people, while the other half see her as a victim of sexual abuse.
This week, we finally got in touch with April Janis. And we learned about an alternative suspect...someone the police apparently never considered.
