Sleeper Session: How We Die: Debunking the Myths About Strangulation Deaths with Dr. Bill Smock
Although Dr. Bill Smock may not have been a "high-profile" personality that attendees watched for hours on television, he definitely stole the show at House Arrest with his presentation on strangulation. His session included demonstrations and a live Q&A.
Best Virtual Background: Mark McClish
If you told us that Statement Analysis and deception expert Mark McClish rented out a library to host his House Arrest presentation in, we would have believed you. His session, Chris Watts: Breaking Down the Lies, was equally as fascinating as it was visually pleasing!
Runner Up: Dr. Michael Baden & Linda Kenney Baden
Attendees could not stop raving about the room that husband and wife duo Dr. Michael Baden & Linda Kenney Baden presented from. As if the House Arrest logo, flowers and dog pillows in the background weren't enough -- cue the Baby Yoda!
Best Attendee Set Up: @kateplusnico on Instagram
We asked attendees to share photos of their House Arrest setup and hashtag #CCHouseArrest. This one Instagram user absolutely blew it out of the water! Bonus points for the pup.
