About this episode
Nineteen days to dissolve mom and dad in acid: The murder of Joel and Lisa Guy A boiling pot on the stove. Inside, a head. In the bathroom, two blue 45-gallon containers with bodies partially dissolved in acid. One without a head. The other without hands. The police open the door of a house in Knoxville and discover that someone meticulously planned for nineteen days the murder and disappearance of their own parents. In this episode, we explore the contradictions that unravel Joel Guy Jr.'s alibi: a handwritten notebook detailing every chemical step and every dismemberment instruction; Walmart cameras capturing him buying gloves and bandages hours after the murders, trying to treat an injury on his thumb; and a final line written before the crime that reveals the true motive: "500,000 will all be mine." How did such an elaborate plan end in a chaotic and incomplete scene? Victim: Joel Sr. Guy and Lisa Guy Date: November 26, 2016 Location: Knoxville, Tennessee, United States Status: Sentenced to two consecutive life sentences - The notebook found detailed every step of the plan with precise instructions for dismemberment and chemical dissolution, including how to fake text messages from the victims' phones. - Joel Jr. was captured on cameras buying emergency supplies at 3:35 PM on November 26, the same day as the murders, with a deep injury on his left thumb. - The parents cut off his financial support on Thanksgiving, the immediate trigger: Joel Jr. had depended on them financially for a decade without employment. - A meat grinder was found in the trunk of his vehicle when he was arrested, confirming the intention to return and complete the plan to destroy evidence.
