July 7, (THAINDIAN NEWS) ABC ran the show ‘Primetime: Family Secrets’ that focused on the bizarre and horrifying tale of the man who killed and raped nine of his own children, Marcus Wesson. The focus of the one hour long episode was the life of Elizabeth Wesson who narrated the horrific life under the dominance of the monster named Marcus Wesson. In the interviews of her and her 5 surviving children, the audience is left shocked and rattled by the story of the man who not only raped and molested his own children but also fathered more children through the incestuous relations.

The story of incest, murder and inhuman dominance of Marcus Wesson has become a hot search after the show on ABC. The horror story ended tragically on March 12, 2004 when police intercepted the house to find the bodies of the nine children stacked up at the corner of the house. The victims had been shot through the eye. As a part of the show the surviving member of the Wesson family traveled to the places where they lived with Marcus Wesson and recounted the extreme physical and sexual abuse.

Elizabeth Wesson said that it was extremely difficult for her to visit the places as it brought back the painful memories. She said that she and her children have emotional scars left by Marcus Wesson and his tortures that will never heal. She also revealed that coming out of the dominance of the man, who controlled her since she was 8 years old, was also like coming out of a fog.

Marcus Wesson was sentenced to death for the gruesome crimes on June 17, 2005 on 9 charges of first degree murder and 14 counts of forcible sexual assault and sexual molestation.
