Summary

Pocatello, ID. September 22, 2006. 16-year-old high school student Cassie Jo Stoddart is house-sitting for family members who don’t want to leave their new dream home unoccupied while they’re away.

She has a couple of friends come over to watch a movie, along with her boyfriend. Soon enough, the friends leave, followed by her boyfriend, and that’s when the nightmare begins.

Cassie would be terrorized by a pair of masked killers waiting inside the house, two people who modeled their approach using their love of horror movies, particularly the film Scream, for reference. But who were these tag-team killers, and why did they really do it?

Join host Ryan Kraus for a psychological excursion through the horrifying landscape of teens looking for love they can’t find, as exhibited in the mental illness displayed by murderers Torey Adamcik and Brian Draper.
