Columbus, GA – The Short Family was your average close knit family, summers consisted of cookouts, family vacations, and lazy weekends swimming in the family pool but all of that would change on the morning of January 4, 2016, at 8am police received a frantic 911 call from Robert Short who had returned home from work after working a night shift to find a gruesome scene –his 54-year old wife Gloria Short, their 17-year-old son Caleb Short, and their 10-year-old granddaughter Gianna “Gigi” Lindsey were bound and beaten to death. The home appeared to have been burglarized, and the couple's two vehicles were also missing. 

This tragic loss would send shockwaves throughout the Upatoi community. 

Who would want to hurt this beloved family who kept to themselves and had no known enemies? Police would work tirelessly to uncover a suspect in this case and what would be discovered is a shocking murder plot and a killer hiding in plain sight that no one saw coming. 

Listen to Season 4 Episode 7 to find out how this horrific case unfolds. 

Rest in peace to the victims referenced in this case. 🙏🕊️
