Description: We dive into the chilling case of Matthew Hertgen, a former college soccer star who allegedly murdered his younger brother Joseph Hertgen and the family cat in a luxurious apartment in Princeton, New Jersey. Raised in an affluent family with a multi-millionaire tech mogul father, both brothers were star athletes with seemingly bright futures. Yet, tragedy struck when Matthew allegedly used a knife and golf club in a brutal assault, calling 911 himself to report a fire and a dead body at the scene. What could drive such violence within a privileged family? Was there an underlying issue, or did something push Matthew to the edge? We explore the psychological, social, and familial dynamics at play with #BestGuests, including criminal psychologists and legal experts. Join us as we seek answers to this tragic mystery. Get Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxAll Things STS: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTube   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
