For years, the small town of Raymond, Washington, believed Shelly Knotek was a kind neighbor who offered help to people in need. But behind the walls of her modest home, she ran a literal house of horrors, all witnessed by her daughters Nikki, Sami, and Tori.
Michelle Knotek, born on April 15, 1954, had grown up in a broken home and was a troubled child. But instead of breaking the cycle of abuse and toxicity that she had faced, she inflicted those on her own children, and eventually her houseguests. She manipulated, abused, assaulted, and eventually killed three houseguests who had come seeking comfort in her home.
