What happens when the person who disappears from your life… leaves behind a crime no one talks about?
When Sean was four years old, his estranged father committed a brutal murder—and vanished. No explanations. No goodbyes. Just a silence that moved in and never left.
Inheritance of Silence is a serialized true story about the long-term impact of trauma, fatherlessness, and the kind of violence that doesn't just take a life—it changes the shape of every life around it.
Told through immersive sound design, real interviews, and raw first-person narration, this podcast uncovers what happens when a child grows up surrounded by questions no one will answer.
Because some stories don’t begin with words.
They begin with silence.

CareImpact presents the inheritance of
Speaker:
silence.
Speaker:
Quiet summer night. A life
Speaker:
forever changed.
Speaker:
Hey.
Speaker:
This is the story of Sean, a man who carries the
Speaker:
weight of his father's actions, actions, a man haunted by the
Speaker:
echoes of a murder outside his childhood bedroom,
Speaker:
an event that put his father in prison and left the young
Speaker:
boy and his brothers to navigate the world without him.
Speaker:
My father's a murderer. There was a time where I couldn't
Speaker:
get through that sentence without breaking down and crying in the middle of it
Speaker:
and and just gulp the words out. But this
Speaker:
isn't just a crime story. It's a journey of survival,
Speaker:
resilience, and the courage to face the past.
Speaker:
It's about the hidden wounds of trauma, the desperate search for
Speaker:
belonging, and the power of forgiveness.
Speaker:
We'll hear from Sean himself, sharing his intimate story of
Speaker:
growing up in the shadow of violence. We'll explore the
Speaker:
complexities of childhood trauma with expert insights from those who
Speaker:
understand its profound impact and those who have experienced
Speaker:
it for themselves. Trauma can ripple
Speaker:
through generations, leaving a legacy of pain and brokenness,
Speaker:
not just affecting those who were hurt first, but those who come after them.
Speaker:
Them. This pain and brokenness can be passed from a father to their child,
Speaker:
but this generational trend of pain and brokenness
Speaker:
doesn't have to continue forever. It is possible to heal and to
Speaker:
start writing a new chapter and story for the future generations to come.
Speaker:
Join us as we uncover the truth behind the murder that shattered
Speaker:
Sean's world. Walk alongside him as he navigates a
Speaker:
childhood of whispers and secrets, a desperate search for
Speaker:
acceptance, and a battle with his own inner demons.
Speaker:
The gospel of the world engaged in order to God.
Speaker:
And witnessed his extraordinary path to healing, a journey
Speaker:
of faith, forgiveness, and the courage to confront the
Speaker:
past. Just because I was traumatized by that
Speaker:
event, that's not who I am. I'm one of God's
Speaker:
kids. I'm beloved and chosen by our heavenly father.
Speaker:

Speaker:
redemption, and the enduring power of love. Subscribe
