On August 13, 2020, a 911 call summoned first responders to an apartment in Elk River, Minnesota, where 8-year-old Autumn Hallow was pronounced dead at the scene. Her father, Brett Hallow, and her stepmother, Sarah Hallow, told police they found Autumn partially submerged in the bathtub, but their story fell apart immediately. The little girl was emaciated and frail, covered in injuries, and missing patches of hair, and she had clearly been dead for at least several hours before the 911 call was placed. The following day, both Brett and Sarah were arrested.

In this episode, I will tell you a story of parental alienation, a mother’s desperate attempts to save her children from their father’s abusive household, and the failure of CPS and the Elk River Police Department to intervene in a dire situation that culminated in the death of a child. I will also tell you the story of a beautiful, bright little girl with unmatched joy for life who was known for her kindness, creativity, thoughtfulness, and determination and whose life was slowly and agonizingly stolen by two people who should have protected her but chose instead to torture her to death.

This is part one of the heartbreaking story of Autumn Hallow.
