In 2010 after 14-year-old Alex Crian shot his parents in their affluent community of Naples, FL. Friends, family and neighbors are shocked. With no warning signs to foresee this tragic incident from happening many are left to wonder did something in him just snap or was it methodically and maliciously planned?
