Summary

Dixie and Lloyd Ortiz, and their son Steven, were murdered inside their home during the early morning hours of Father’s Day 2011. Over a year into the investigation, authorities received a tip from an inmate that would help solve the case. 

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murders of the Ortiz family. The family had an excellent reputation in their community and seemed like good, hard-working people. Lloyd and Dixie adopted and were caring for their son, Steven, who was partially paralyzed. They also had two adult daughters. And it was one of these daughters who found Lloyd, Dixie, and Steven murdered inside their home on June 19th, 2011. The immediate question was who would want to kill the Ortiz family and why? When the suspects were eventually apprehended, people were shocked by who they turned out to be.
