The Weaver Family

In this episode we are talking about the Weaver family. Ward Weaver Jr., Ward Weaver III, and Francis Weaver are three generations of Weavers who displayed vicious criminality. All experienced violence during childhood and went on to repeat the cycle of violence.

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the Weaver family. Ward Weaver Jr committed murder and sexual assault. His son Ward Weaver III abducted and murdered Ashley Pond and Miranda Gaddis. His son Francis was ultimately involved in a murder as well. Nature vs. nurture is a question that comes up often in true crime cases, and this might be one of the most fascinating examinations of that.
