A chilling case from 48 years ago resurfaces as Andrea Bernard’s older stepbrother, Desmond, finally breaks his silence—revealing Janice Thomas’s violent abuse and claiming he heard Andrea scream as she burned in a bath. Forced to lie for years to stop the abuse, Desmond spoke out after Janice’s memoirs misrepresented the truth.
