The True Story of a Vicious Triple-Murder that Broke the Heart of a Town.
When prosperous lawyer Ernest Brendel mysteriously disappeared, along with his wife Alice, and their 8-year-old daughter Emily, the members of their close-knit community worried at first that they had been kidnapped.
Their worst fears were realised when heavy rains uncovered Alice and Ernest's badly decomposed bodies - shot with a giant crossbow, strangled, and buried. Lying under her mother's corpse was little Emily's lifeless body, now a silent witness to her killer's shocking identity.
What the family couldn't have known was that one of his closest friends - a Sunday school teacher and respected member of the community - was a psychotic liar obsessed with greed, jealousy and murderous revenge.
