There were two more murders, 15 miles away.

When we survived, they found out of telephones and electricity lines.

The weird is described by one investigator as reminiscent of a weird religion.

the next morning.

Her death, upon investigation, was determined to be caused by an intracerebral hemorrhage

Michael, who had stayed to help put the girls to bed after dinner,

was the last person to see Elizabeth alive.
