100. Sabrina Zunich - Groomed to Commit a Gruesome Murder?
Listen now
Description
On November 16, 2012, 13-year-old Megan Zanella watched in horror as Sabrina Zunich stabbed her mother, Lisa Knoefel, 178 times. Lisa, a social worker, was married to Kevin Knoefel, a truck driver. Lisa and Kevin were foster parents and Sabrina was placed with their family when she was 16. While some outlets said Kevin and Sabrina had an affair, due to the power imbalance in their relationship we believe Sabrina was groomed. Sabrina was 17, while Kevin was 42. Sabrina was about to turn 18 and was likely afraid of being on her own. Sabrina had been bounced around theĀ foster care system, she did not have the opportunity to develop strong, lasting relationships. Kevin convincedĀ Sabrina to kill Lisa so they could run away together. We discuss the systemic issues behind this case and what we believe is the unfair sentence given to Sabrina. https://youtu.be/yrhBmcKS_-w https://www.oxygen.com/snapped-behind-bars/crime-news/snapped-behind-bars-what-to-know-about-sabrina-zunich-case https://heavy.com/news/lisa-knoefel-murder/ https://www.oxygen.com/snapped-behind-bars/crime-news/sabrina-zunich-gives-prison-interview-after-murdering-foster-mom https://thecinemaholic.com/where-is-sabrina-zunich-now/ https://heavy.com/news/sabrina-zunich-today/
