155. Hudler Tree Farm Horror

 Today we are going to the southern United States to a town named Grassy Creek, North Carolina. It is home to a very well-known and recognized Christmas tree farm. It is January 24, 2008, right before noon, when a panicked call comes into 911 describing a most heinous scene at the Hudler tree farm. The caller explains there are two people who have been shot. Police are dispatched to the farm, and once on scene, investigators would find three bodies and a trail of clues. Since the family is so well admired and loved, no one can think of anyone that would do them any harm. What authorities would discover is a person who was well acquainted with murder.
