On May 1, 2014, Jessica Tyrrell contacted the Springfield, Missouri police, to do a welfare check at the home of her parents. Inside the home, the police found the bodies of 60-year-old Gary, and 61-year-old Jan.
It was clear to the police that robbery was the motive. Were Gary and Jan targeted because of the items that they collected, or was it something more sinister?
