A successful attorney nearly twice his wife’s age. A young woman he first noticed at church. A marriage that curdled into control, degradation, and exploitation — and endedwhen he hired the one person she trusted most, her own half-brother, to murder her in her sleep for $5,000 and an insurance payout. This episode traces the Tabatha Bryant case from the beginning: who she was, how a powerful older mantook hold of her life, why he forced her into the things he did, and how his need to own her curdled into a decision to erase her. This is a story about coercive control taken to its final conclusion, and about the coward’s calculus of a man who would end a life but never with his own hands.

Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of domestic abuse, coercive control, sexual exploitation and coercion, and graphic violence, including a fatal shooting andstabbing. Listener discretion is advised. If any of this is close to home for you, please take care of yourself while you listen.

In November 1988, 17-year-old Junko Furuta was abducted on her way home from her part-time job. For 44 days, she endured unimaginable torture while multiple adults who could have saved her chose to look away. This is not just a story of four teenage criminals—it's the story of how an entire system failed one girl.

Christian Longo had the picture-perfect family — the boyish good looks, the devoted wife, three beautiful children, the boat in the driveway. Almost none of it was real.

For years, Longo built an elaborate false self out of fraud, forged checks, stolen cars, and lies he told his own father, his church, and the wife who never stopped believing in him. And in December 2001, when the lie was finally about tocollapse — when eviction would have exposed exactly who he'd always been — he made a choice. He decided the people closest to him, the ones who could see the truth, were a problem to be solved.

This week on Deadly Intent, Carman Carrion traces the Christian Longo case from the very beginning — a stolen wedding ring in Michigan, a construction business built ondeception, a cross-country flight from creditors, and finally a quiet condo on the Oregon coast where a husband and father murdered his family and then went to a Christmas party. We follow the fraud as it escalates into the unthinkable,the chilling performance of normalcy that followed, the flight to Mexico under the stolen name of a real New York Times journalist, and the bizarre courtroom lie Longo told to the very end. Told in chronological order, with Intent Segments throughout, this is the anatomy of a man who chose his image over the lives of his own children.

Remembering Mary Jane, Zachary, Sadie, and Madison.

Intent doesn't lie. People do.
