Summary

The quaint town of Manchester, Iowa, was bathing in the warm glow of the early morning sun on Mother’s Day of 2012. Families across the town were getting together in celebration, but as the day wore on, an eerie hush fell across the town, like a foreboding cloud. On the quaint residential street of Deann Drive, the silence was broken by the shrill sound of police sirens, as a gruesome crime was being uncovered.
