What if I told you a real-life nightmare unfolded in 1986 and 1987 in a small town in Massachusetts, and that the terrifying details seem to have been pulled, not just from one horror movie, but a handful. Truly, when I came across the horrifying case of Daniel LaPlante a few years ago, I initially had a hard time believing it was true; because it involves catfishing, phrogging, sexual assault, multiple murders, and kidnapping. And as shocking as the crimes are, so, too is the perpetrator—a 17-year-old high school student. What compelled him to commit a tragedy on December 1, 1987? Join me in The Red Treehouse to find out!
