## Resource

That is the question that sits underneath everything in this case. Prosecutors say the murders happened when the family was away. The wrongful death lawsuit from Valerie Mack's son says the family knew or deliberately avoided knowing. Asa's attorney says she had no knowledge or involvement. Victoria says she believes her father most likely did it. Asa may never get there.This is a live airing of the full three-part conversation between psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and Tony Brueski. The first chapter covers the jailhouse confession — Asa calling him Mr. Heuermann, the number eight delivered without hesitation, and the mother-daughter split that followed. The second chapter addresses how someone maintains a double life for seventeen years and what Heuermann's courtroom behavior tells a clinician. The third chapter goes into the basement — what it means that Asa rebuilt it and sleeps there, why she chose not to attend sentencing, and whether the mind can truly choose not to see what is happening inside your own house.Bring your questions.
