In 1925, the sweltering heat of Harlan County, Kentucky, was matched only by the intensity of a manhunt for 14-year-old Mary Vickery. When skeletal remains were discovered in an abandoned mine shaft, the case seemed closed: a grieving father identified her jewelry, a "witness" claimed to have seen the murder, and local taxi driver Condy Dabney was sent away for life.

In the affluent suburbs of Fairfax County, Virginia, IRS Special Agent Brendan Banfield seemed to have the perfect life. But on the morning of February 24, 2023, when police arrived at his home, they walked into a horrific scene of a double homicide. Brendan claimed he had walked in on a handyman, Joseph Morin, attacking his wife, Christine Banfield, and acted in self-defense.

But as the "Au Pair Murders" investigation unfolded, the story of a heroic husband crumbled. In this episode of True Crimecast, we dive into a twisted web of a secret affair between Brendan and the family’s au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, and a chilling plot involving a fake fetish profile used to lure an innocent man to his death. We examine how a man trained to catch criminals thought he could use his expertise to stage the perfect crime—only to have his partner in crime turn into the prosecution's star witness.
