In today’s True Crime Tuesday, we’re dialing into a crime that echoes through the quiet corners of Bensalem Township, Pennsylvania. We delve into the night of November 25, 2022, when a seemingly innocent Netflix binge spiraled into a nightmare. Twelve-year-old Morgan Conners and 18-year-old Ash Cooper’s evening takes a horrifying turn, leading to a frantic call to police, a horrifying discovery, and a trail of digital breadcrumbs that would unveil a shocking murder.
