Gary Farris seemed to be a loving husband and father, affectionately called “Big Daddy”. Yet, all signs seemed to suggest that one of Gary Farris’ own family members was responsible for his murder. It turns out this family had a lot of secrets – involving money and infidelity. Much like an actual Ferris wheel, the blame game went round and round.
