There were two more murders 15 miles away.

When police arrived, they found the telephones and electricity lines.

We have a weird hummusiness.

How far would you go for your family?

On July 24, 1984, a young woman and her daughter were brutally slain in a murder

committed by a man at the behest of his family member, a crime that saw twists, turns, and

Shocked he would throw his own brother under the bus this way.
