Something dark was brewing in the Colorado mountains — and it wasn’t the weather.

The 7-11 Ranch looked like a dream: wide pastures, mountain wind, and cabins tucked under tall pines. But behind that postcard view, a family was falling apart… and by the time the dust settled, one of them would be buried beneath the very land he worked to save.

This week on True Crime Consumes Me, we’re digging into the murder of Jake Millison — a story of loyalty, greed, and betrayal on a family ranch that was supposed to be his future.

And y’all… there’s a personal twist in this one. My own parents actually visited that ranch just days after Jake was killed — completely unaware of what had happened.

What happens when the person you trust most… turns into your worst nightmare?

In 2007, 13-year-old Paris Bennett called 911 from his home in Abilene, Texas, and calmly told the dispatcher:

“I killed my sister.”

But what sounded like shock soon revealed something far darker—an act of revenge, calculated to cause his mother the deepest pain imaginable.

This is not a story for the faint of heart.
