Summary
This week on Twisted & Mysterious , we cover the murder of Brenda Powell—killed by her daughter, Sydney—in a case where nothing outwardly seemed wrong until it was. We walk through Sydney’s quiet descent into unreality, the secrets she kept, and the investigation that revealed just how disconnected her inner world had become from everyone around her. Also… yes. It’s late. Time blindness is undefeated. The case is devastating all the same. Listener discretion advised. Thank you for listening!
