In this episode of Killer Bites: Victim or Villain, we dive into the bizarre and unsettling case of Ezra McCandless. At just 19 years old, she staggered into view one day—bloodied, shaken, and claiming she had narrowly escaped a brutal attack. Police rushed to uncover the truth, ready to hunt down whoever had tried to kill her.

But as investigators dug deeper, Ezra’s story didn’t just bend—it twisted into a tangled web of lies, love triangles, obsession, and betrayal. What seemed at first like the account of a traumatized young woman soon began to resemble a plot ripped straight out of a dark, queer coming-of-age Netflix drama.

So who is Ezra McCandless? A young woman scarred by violence? Or a manipulative villain hiding behind the mask of a victim? This case will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about truth, trust, and the line between survivor and suspect.
