Bitter Remains

A Custody Battle, a Gruesome Crime, and the Mother Who Paid the Ultimate Price

De: Diane Fanning

Narrado por: Karyn O'Bryant

On July 13, 2011, Laura Jean Ackerson of Kinston, North Carolina, went to pick up her two toddler sons. It would be the last time she was seen alive. Laura's ex, Grant Hayes - the father of her two sons - and his wife, Amanda, the mother of his newborn daughter, both pointed the finger at each other as the one guilty of murdering Laura, cutting up her body, and then transporting and disposing of the remains on the shores of Oyster Creek, Texas. This is the hauntingly true story of a devoted mother, a disturbed couple, and how these horrific events came to pass.

Slow burn

Definitely had instances where it seemed like it just kept dragging on, however it was an enjoyable long listen overall

WOW

Laura's story was a great way to honor a life that ended too soon. Gripping story that sounds like a work of fiction, but it's not.

Sad Story Very Well Told

It is so hard to learn of yet another tale of misery and violence perpetrated by people. This story is very hard to know and my heart goes out to all of those effected by two truly horrible people.

I'm a Kinston resident and while I didn't know any of the people involved, I feel for Laura's family and friends and for all of the children that are now without parents. I'm glad that justice was granted foe Laura's death and that her murderers are behind bars.

Narrator mispronounces word

It isn’t a party it is partay
To me it isn’t that hard to find the correct pronunciation. Ask any person in the legal field or google it
