On November 11th, 2010, in the quaint lovely town of Apple Valley, Ohio, law enforcement officers entered a family’s residence who had been reported missing. Inside officers were met with a bloodbath, but there were no bodies in sight. The investigation would unravel one of the most brutal and bizarre of crimes. For many of the officers involved, they would forever be traumatized by what they saw.
