Summary

In November of 2010, police entered the Ohio home Tina Herrmann shared with her boyfriend Greg and her two children, 13-year-old Sarah and 11-year-old Kody. All of the residents of the house were missing, in addition to Tina's best friend, Stephanie Sprang. Evidence inside the home indicated a brutal slaughter had taken place there; however, neither of the missing people nor their bodies could be found. Shoeprints from 13-year-old Sarah were found leading to a car missing in the garage. If Sarah made it out alive, she was now in the clutches of a monster who had a 24-hour head start on them. Listen to this week's episode to learn the bizarre and heartbreaking case of "Inside The Hollow Tree."
