S03E26: Bound by Blood: Kenneth and Kari Allen

Most of us have a sibling we’d do anything for. We grow up sharing toys, secrets, and eventually, the stresses of adulthood, but for Ken and Kari Allen, that bond took a sharp, lethal turn. It wasn't just 'us against the world'—it was 'us against anyone in our way.'

Kenneth Allen, Jr. had spent most of his life away from his family, particularly his sister, Kari who was 11 years his junior, back in Indiana due to his parents, Sharon and Kenneth Allen, Sr divorcing when he was 14. Ken grew up in Florida while Kari lived with her mother in Noblesville, Indiana. After a life of counterfeiting, forgery, and theft, Ken decided to move home with his sister and mother at the age of 29 after doing a 14 month stint in prison in Arizona. He and 18-year-old Kari concocted a plan to kill their grandparents and take their money they had saved. Since their mother, Sharon, refused to help them, she had to die, too. After their killing spree, the pair buried the remains of all three victims under the basement floor at their grandparents' Indianapolis home and headed for Vegas, but a routine traffic stop uncovered their heinous crimes.
