The Kramer family had settled in to sleep in their cosy, secure house, on a snowy night in early March 2010. But the calming silence of the middle of the night was interrupted when a hammer came crashing through one of the downstairs windows. What followed was a savage and merciless attack that left the residents of the house in utter disbelief, and resulted in tragedy. The survivor of the horrific slayings pointed to one person who soon became the key suspect. The problem was, he had an alibi. And it was absolutely air tight.

The connection you have with your family, for better or for worse, is one like no other. There’s a bond formed with those in your family that is specific and can be all encompassing. For 29 year old Grant, his family had been there in a way that I think is quite rare. He’d disappointed them betrayed them and lied to them over and over again, but each time, they’d taken him back into their lives and the family home- they’d supported him and genuinely tried to do everything in their power to help get him to a better place in his life.

But his own brother Cody told his girlfriend that he was worried Grant might snap and that he could kill them all.

20 year old Matthew was exploring the new town he’d been stationed in as part of his army training. It was his very first night out with his colleagues, who he considered his close friends.

But the night ended with Matthew becoming sepearated from his friends, and wandering through the streets, alone.

But he wasn’t totally alone. A man he didn’t know, had spotted him. And just a few hours earlier, that same man, had boldly threatened that he was out to kill.

Many thanks to our guest writer for their help with this episode!
