35 - 4th of July Family Massacre - The Kunz Family Murders

On the 4th of July in 1987, the town of Athens, Wisconsin was celebrating with fireworks while something evil would go on to happen after. The Kunz Family was found murdered the next morning in their farm house by Kenneth Kunz, the son of Helen. Kenneth discovered his brother Randy murdered along with Helen's siblings Irene, Clarence, and Marie. Helen however, was missing. As police investigated the murders, they uncovered the concerning dynamic of the Kunz Family. The town and media became fixated on their questionable past and finding the killer became difficult with the lack of evidence. By the time an arrest was made, the case still had unanswered secrets.
