She was described as a loving, doting mother. From the outside, Ruth DiRienzo-Whitehead checked all the right boxes - the suburban mom who would go above and beyond for her only child, including sending him to an elite, pricey private school. From within, the pressure was mounting. Money problems, having to care for an elderly parent with dementia, maintaining a lifestyle beyond her family’s means - all of these factors pushed DiRienzo-Whitehead to the brink, and in April 2023, she did the unthinkable. She murdered her 11-year old son. Did DiRienzo-Whitehead suffer a psychotic break? Did she snap? Or, was the 51-year old Horsham resident out for revenge? Was the killing deliberate, as a way to get back at her husband?

Be sure to listen to both parts.
