Part 3: The Au Pair, The Affair, and a Double Murder in Fairfax County

Season 1, Ep. 86

In the third installment of our coverage of this case, we dig deeper into the shocking double homicide that rocked Fairfax County, Virginia. Juliana Peres Magalhães, a Brazilian au pair turned alleged killer, is set to face trial next month—but is she a cold-blooded killer or a victim of manipulation? With new revelations about her secret affair with IRS agent and her employer Brendan Banfield, and the events that led to the brutal deaths of Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan, this case keeps getting darker.
