<p>It was early on Wednesday! No pun intended the date is  July 8, 1806 and A neighbor, was awoken by James Jr. The teen had a wound on is back; He was incoherent and basically told the neighbors that he was awaken by his mother screaming. He left his room to investigate and encountered a man in the hallway with an AXE. The man struck him with the axe and at this point one of the younger boys had tried to make his escape. This distracted the attacker and James Jr was able to escape and make it to safety at the neighbors house. Thus begins the tell of the Purrington Murders. </p>

Purrington Family Murders... Classic whodunit

<div>Early on Wednesday.</div>
<div></div>
<div>That’s when the stories nobody wants to tell start to unravel. When the headlines have gone quiet, but the evidence still screams.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Every week, two investigative journalists dig past the official reports and tear into the cases that never found closure. Unsolved murders, vanishing cults, the fractured psychology behind true crime—if there’s a file stamped “inconclusive,” we’re the ones prying it open.</div>
<div></div>
<div>But we don’t stop at crime scenes and courtrooms. We follow the trail into conspiracies, cryptids, and the paranormal—anywhere the facts twist into something darker. We gather what’s buried, piece together what’s missing, and hold up the uncomfortable truths that most would rather leave in the dark.</div>
<div></div>
<div>On Early on Wednesday, you’ll find the psychological patterns behind the horror, the hidden details history tried to erase, and the connections that make your skin crawl.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Because every mystery leaves a paper trail. And we intend to follow it—wherever it leads.</div>
