In March of 1986, Greensboro, North Carolina was shaken by a brutal crime. On the surface, Dr. Jimmy Dale Hudson appeared to have the perfect life. He was a respected dentist, a UNC supporter, a husband, and a father. But behind the image of success was a marriage unraveling, emotional instability, jealousy, and a darkness no-one saw coming.
When police arrived at a quiet apartment complex on Farmington Drive, they discovered a horrifying scene that would leave investigators stunned. Inside were 36-year-old Kathryn “Kay” Hudson and 3-year-old Wilma Dale Hudson. Waiting at the police station was Kay’s husband, Dr. Jimmy Dale Hudson, covered in blood and claiming he could not remember what had happened.
