Summary
In December 1990, sisters Linae and Tricia Tiede were held hostage by two men -- Von Lester Taylor and Edward Steven Deli. The Tiede family had gone to spend Christmas at the family cabin in Oakley, Utah. Taylor and Deli shot their mother, father, and grandmother and planned to burn down the home. The sisters owe their survival to their heroic father, Rolf, who, though wounded, was able to get on a snowmobile and alert his brother, Randy, to call 911. The police caught Taylor and Deli and rescued the girls. This classic "48 Hours" episode last aired on 3/9/2013. Watch all-new episodes of “48 Hours” on Saturdays, and stream on demand on Paramount+.
