Description:
Within the House of Shelly Knotek is the true account of what happened inside a property at the end of a gravel drive in Raymond, Washington — where a woman built a private world, ran it without interference for over a decade, and buried two men in the back yard when she was done with them. Three daughters grew up inside it. Sami, Nikki, and Tori Knotek were formed inside a system of control so total that the damage it produced was written into their bodies and carried forward into adult lives that had to be built, deliberately, from nothing the house had ever given them. This book follows the full arc — from the household Shelly constructed, through the abuse and deaths of Ron Woodworth and Shane Watson, to the investigation that finally brought law enforcement to that back yard with a warrant and a spade. It asks the question the case demands: not only how one woman did what she did, but how the world around her looked away long enough for her to do it? Duration - 3h 50m. Author - Steve B. Davis.
