Chapter 4 - The Ratte Family Mystery

On Aug. 18, 1997, Wendy Ann Twiss Ratte, was reported missing and the family's van was found parked at a supermarket.  But in 2008, her husband became the subject of an elaborate undercover operation, known as a "Mr. Big" sting, in which police officers posed as high-level gangsters to gain the suspect's trust.

Ratte took the officers to the scene of the shooting in the backyard of the family's home, and then to a wooded area east of the city where he told them he dumped her body, which has never been found.
