## Resource

In Part II of our coverage of SC's Rose Petal Murder.....the investigation into the fatal stabbing of 41 year old Vet Tech Christina Parcell gets far more complicated than anyone expected. In Part I, we unpacked the tangled relationships, custody battles, and harassment campaign that painted a disturbing picture of Christina's ex-bf and the father of her daughter in the months leading up to her murder. Now, in Part II, the story takes a bizarre turn. In this episode we dive into all 2 and a half hours of her murderer 's confession (31 year old piano prodigy Zachary Hughes)...and y'all...it's MESSY af. Was Zachary Hughes a genuinely a good guy who got in way over his head or a deluded narcissist with a savior complex? Was Christina everything he claimed? We're diving DEEP to get the answers for ourselves and you campers....so don't miss this episode!!!
