Summary

In the early morning hours of May 5th, 2009, Sheri Coleman and her two sons, 11-year-old Garett and 9-year-old Gavin, were found dead in their home. Husband and dad, Chris Coleman, had been worried about his family due to some threatening emails and letters they had received.

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the Coleman family murders. The crime scene was horrible, and someone had spray painted curse words throughout the home. This seemed to back up the threats the family had received. But as the police began gathering clues, they uncovered the true culprit and a senseless motive.
