Summary

On April 16th, 1968, in the Arellano’s packed in the family’s Buick and headed away from their Villa de Fuente, Mexico home to San Angelo, Texas to visit an expecting family member. The car was packed tight with a mother, a father, a young child, a toddler, a sister, and a baby. Though the trip wasn’t anything new to the family, they visited Texas and the US often, an unfortunate and horrific series of events took place. Vehicle issues led the Arellano Family directly into the path of a psychopathic devil who would prove to be no less than the annihilator of nearly the entire family. Remastered with 25+ minutes of updated material.
