Episode 11: 2219 Seyburn Street
Detroit, Michigan.
A neighborhood once full of promise, now scarred by a single night of unimaginable horror. On an April evening in 2006, five teenagers gathered for a sleepover at a modest home in the Jefferson Chalmers district. By morning, four of them were dead — executed one by one. Only one girl survived, pretending to be lifeless beneath the body of her cousin.
The murders were not random. They were cold, calculated, and cruel.
This episode traces the lives of the boys who were killed — their dreams, their families, the laughter that filled the house before it was silenced. We follow the police investigation, the trail of evidence that led to the arrest of three young men, and the gripping courtroom testimony that revealed what really happened inside the home. We also examine the trauma carried by the survivor, the psychological profile of the attackers, and how a robbery turned massacre left a neighborhood shaken and a house forever changed.
The killers never took anything from the home — no money, no valuables, just lives.
And still, years later, the house stands.
A reminder.
A monument.
A place that remembers.
📍 Featured Address: 2219 Seyburn Street, Detroit, MI
⚠️ Content Warning: Graphic descriptions of home invasion, execution-style murder, the death of minors, and survivor trauma. Listener discretion strongly advised.
