Ladies and gentlemen, we must warn you, the story you are about to hear is one of the most disgusting and horrible in the history of true crime, a tale so foul and loathsome that it is often shunned and is little known, despite the fact that sixteen innocent people lost their lives.
It is a story of savage manipulation and abuse, incest, family annihilation and spree killing, including one of the most horrifying acts of domestic violence ever recorded in American history.
Please be prepared, and forewarned, as we tell you the story of the horrible Ronald Gene Simmons and the Mockingbird Hill Massacre.
