On the night of January 27, 1983 John Duffield fell asleep to his television in his bedroom. His wife, Carole, was a nurse who worked the night shift, so sleeping alone was something that he had grown accustomed to, and why the droning noise of the television kept him company. But in the early morning hours he was awoken by the worst sound a parent could hear. He heard the frantic calls and moans of pain from his 15 year old son Paul, whom he knew had fallen asleep on the couch in the family living room. He rushed downstairs to his son and found him unresponsive and in a large pool of his own blood, a massive wound to his head. John could barely process what was happening. He was in shock. He rushed to the phone to call 911…but the phone lines were dead. He had no idea that the chaos of that night had only just begun.
