episode 60: Lilawattie Buerettan

She Goes By Jane

In 1994, the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office enters a property in Loxahatchee, Florida and finds a chilling sight. Hundreds of exotic birds including parrots and macaws are dead or dying inside their enclosures. While they work frantically to save the remaining birds, their focus shifts to how they got in this state. Where is their caretaker, 36 year old Lilawattie Buerettan and her 31 year old nephew Moses Lall. Did they abandon the birds, or did something more sinister happen.
