Summary

Part 1 of a 2 part series.

In the quiet college town of Davis, California, retired couple Chip and Claudia Northup were living out their golden years in peace — until the dead of night changed everything. On April 14, 2013, in the early morning hours, the couple lay sleeping in their own bed when an intruder slipped silently into their home. He stood over them in the darkness, watching them breathe, before unleashing a savage, relentless attack that left the bedroom soaked in blood. What followed was one of the most brutal and disturbing double murders the community had ever seen.
