In 2004, Marcus Wesson was convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of nine of his female family victims; in addition he was sentenced to 102 years in prison sexual abuse of daughters and nieces. Wesson molested, abused and controlled the female members of his family, impregnated some of them, and then murdered nine of his children.
Today on Dr. Phil the victims of the family spoke out. Kiani, Gypsy, Serafino, and their mother, Elizabeth spoke out for the first time. They spoke out about their terrible history with a man who was an abusive head of the family. They spoke about their relationship since their father has been in jail, and the emotional turmoil left behind. One of the women said that they had two children by their father and never realized that was wrong.
Dr. Phil helped them to understand that they have a lot of work to do, and that they are not to blame for what happened. And that now is the time to work on those issues. Tomorrow Dr. Phil will speak to the men in the family and try to help them deal with what has happened to them.
Dr. Phil compared the stories of Jaycee Dugard from California and Elizabeth Smart from Salt Lake City as other people held captive and abused against their will. The Wesson family has had some time to deal with their situation since Marcus Wesson has been in jail for over five years, and Jaycee Dugard is just now beginning her journey of recovery.
By Their Father's Hand, The True Story of the Wesson Family Massacre book description:
Neighbors were unaware of what went on behind the tightly closed doors of a house in Fresno, California-the home of an imposing, 300-pound Marcus Wesson, his wife, children, nieces, and grandchildren. But on March 12, 2004, gunshots were heard inside the Wesson home, and police officers responding to what they believed was a routine domestic disturbance were horrified by the senseless carnage they discovered when they entered.
By Their Father's Hand is a chilling true story of incest, abuse, madness, and murder, and one family's terrible and ultimately fatal ordeal at the hands of a powerful, manipulative man-a cultist who envisioned vengeful gods and vampires, and totally controlled those closest to him before their world came to a brutal and bloody halt.
