About this listen

 In the quiet, picture perfect town of Herndon, Virginia, everything about the Banfield family looked… normal. A beautiful home. Childhood sweethearts tuned into a long marriage. A young daughter. And two parents with demanding, high-pressure careers - one working in federal law enforcement, the other caring for critically ill children as a paediatric intensive care nurse.But on the morning of February 24th, 2023, everything changes. A series of frantic 911 calls leads police to a scene inside the family home that is almost impossible to comprehend. A woman is found with devastating injuries. A man... a complete stranger... lies dead nearby. And in the basement, a four-year-old child is left completely unharmed.At first glance, it looks like a home invasion gone terribly wrong. But as investigators begin to piece together what really happened inside that house, they uncover a trail that leads them far beyond the front door… into a hidden world of online identities, secret relationships, and messages that raise more questions than answers.Because the man found inside the home that morning… wasn’t there by accident.And the deeper detectives dig, the more the story begins to unravel. What starts as a seemingly random act of violence quickly becomes something far more complex... and far more deliberate.In this episode, we break down the full timeline of events, the key people at the centre of the case, and the evidence that would ultimately lead to one of the most disturbing and calculated murder trials in recent memory.Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.
