On Christmas Eve of 2013, Patricia Burns of Lake Luzerne, NY would face the wrath of her  crazed ex-husband - a violent offender she had been trying to evade for years. When Clifford Burns, a man with failed aspirations of once becoming a U.S. Marine, decided to go hunting dressed in full camouflage, his targets would not be sitting ducks or deer in the Adirondack Mountains. Instead, his prey would be his own daughters & estranged wife when he came barging through their front door armed with a long serrated blade and a thirst for revenge over what he viewed as unfair child support practices.
