I'm Joseph Scott Morgan.

I was the youngest medical legal death investigator in the country.

The first time I've ever made a death notification on you after that moment

that I was going to try to be as compassionate as I possibly could.

Because when families are rocked by death,

the only thing they really want are answers.

They ask how, where, it was my job as a death investigator to bring those answers.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

I want to tell you a story about a town in Kentucky.

A beautiful, close knit town where some truly horrible things have happened.

I know everybody, so it's hard to also to think that somebody here in my town could

would do such a thing.

A police officer with a wife and two young sons, a teacher and her teenage daughter,

a 35-year-old mother, an 18 months later, her father, four of them murdered,

one of them missing, considered dead.

All of the cases are unsolved.

It makes me fearful to even speak of it, so that kind of gives you a little insight.

We'll tell you about those victims and not only how they died, but how they lived.

And delve into the lives turned upside down by these horrific crimes.

Growing up here and dealing with everything that's going on now, it's like I'm surprised

as town's even standing.
