The Stiles family toured the country as carnival performers, with Grady Stiles Jr. as the main attraction under the big tent. Charismatic and charming to the crowds who came to see him, no one could have guessed the horror that was going on behind closed doors, especially for his wife, Mary Teresa Stiles. It all came to light the night of November 28th, 1992 when Grady was found shot in his home. It’s not long before police uncover Grady’s family at the center of a murder-for-hire plot. Hold on to your tea cups because nothing about this case is predictable.
