If we all think back in our lives, most of us can remember the moment that stole our childhood.

Maybe it was a death in the family or a move to a new school that made you question all that you thought you knew about life at a young age.

For me, I think that day was when my granny died.

My granny created so much magic for all of my cousins.

The ordinary was turned into the extraordinary. Each day spent

with her was filled with laughter and hugs and joy. The day she died, my world became a little

darker at the age of 11. I started to understand what death was, and the world I once knew,

full of magic and dreams, became a little more real. Beyond the idea of a

person losing some of their innocence is the idea of an entire city, realizing that maybe they may

not be as safe as they once thought they were. Sometimes an event rocks a city so hard, they begin

locking their doors when deadbolts used to remain open because there was never any need to lock them anyways.

The case we're going to discuss today was the reason one large city found people locking their doors at night.

Women filling water guns with ammonia to better fight off an attacker. Children being kept home from play dates, and local figures discussing if

Halloween should be canceled. Religious members also began to question the trustworthiness of their

pastors when one local pastor found himself a suspect and a brutal homicide. Police searched

on foot for the person responsible for the death of three family members. But 57 years later, this can be still wondering who killed this family and why.

This is the story of the Sims family murders.

My name is Allison Williams. And my name is Maggie Damron.

We will be telling stories each week in the hopes that someone out there with any information

concerning the cases will take those tips to law enforcement so justice and closure can be

brought to these families. With each case, we encourage you to continue in the conversation
