Between The Madness - Episode 7 - What Happened at the Lake House? - The Murder of Denise Hallowell

On a quiet summer afternoon in Inverness, Florida, a 911 call shattered the stillness of a lakeside home. Inside, Denise Hallowell was found barely alive in her bedroom, the victim of a brutal attack that made no immediate sense. At first, the story pointed outward toward an unknown intruder. But as investigators began to piece together the timeline, the evidence started pointing somewhere far more unsettling. Because sometimes, the truth isn’t hidden outside the home. It’s already inside.
