On November 2, 2015, a call came in to 911 in the small town of Pendleton, South Carolina. The caller, Amy Vilardi, had just made a horrifying discovery at her mother’s house; all four residents in the home had been brutally murdered. What began as an open and shut investigation, quickly turned into a stale mate that would delay justice for a frustrated family for 8 long years.

In February 2025, police were called to an upscale apartment in Princeton, NJ where there was, reportedly, a body and a fire in one of the units. When they arrived, they realized that the fire was not the cause of death for the deceased and the truth was far more disturbing than anyone was prepared for.
