Summary

A West Coast man with a rough upbringing abused everyone that was close to him as he went from child to teen to adult. Between sexual abuse and murder, he left no stone unturned. But in 2002, when his daughters best friends disappeared under suspicious circumstances, a man hunt ensued. This is the story of Ashley Pond, Miranda Gaddis, and Ward Weaver III.
