Charles T. Sinclair; Are families victims too? A look at the life of families after everything is revealed
How do families move on in their lives after they are shattered by the realization that someone they love committed a horrible crime? This is a hard question, and there may not be definitive answers.
This episode we touch on this subject while discussing the suspected nomadic serial killer, Charles T. Sinclair. After his capture in 1990, his family was broken and at loose ends. The man they had known as a loving father and husband had committed upwards of 10 murders, all to make money. His daughter Pam has gone on to say that she realized after the fact how all of the odd things in her childhood suddenly were quite explainable once she knew the truth.
In an interview Pam gave, her first after all these years, she opens up about the guilt of knowing that the father she held so dear is not who she thought. What he did to his victims and why he did it seems so unlike the man she knew. Like two sides of a coin.
Charles Sinclair left this world without giving any one answers. He was never convicted of any crime. His victims, their families, law enforcement and his own family are all left in the wake of his mess, with no way to clean it up.
Join us for our second episode in Season 4 for a discussion on criminals and the families that left to survive after everything comes out in the open. Of course we will discuss the victims whose lives were taken and his crimes as well. We will also delve into a good amount of cases Sinclair was linked to but proven to not be responsible in later years.
