On Thanksgiving night in 2009, what should have been a warm family celebration turned into one of the most shocking and tragic family crimes in modern American history. Paul Merhige arrived at his relatives’ home for dinner but before the night was over, he had executed a calculated plan of murder that left four family members dead, including a 6-year-old Makayla Sitton.
In this powerful episode of True Crime Prevention, host Paul DelPonte is joined by NCPC’s Tatiana Peralta for a deep dive on the case and a conversation about the warning signs that went unnoticed.
This isn’t just a recounting of a horrific crime—it’s a discussion about what could have been done, what we can learn, and how we can protect our families and communities from similar tragedies. A haunting case. A critical conversation. And a reminder that prevention starts with awareness!
