On a warm evening in August 1925, 17-year-old Warren Vandervoort climbed the stairs of the Parkersburg, Iowa Methodist parsonage where he lived with his parents. In his hands he held a .22 caliber rifle, and when his father appeared at the top of the stairs, Warren fired, ending his father's life. Then, as his mother emerged from her bedroom, Warren shot her in the head, then shot her again as she ran to her bed. In the weeks that followed, his mother would recover, while the story of an argumentative family life emerged, and she would go on to sit by his side as he stood trial for his father's murder.
