Ep 243: Reconsidered: #10 - Erin Caffey
Original Airdate: 03/03/20
In the early morning hours of March 1, 2008, 2 young men burst into the Caffey home in the middle of the night and embarked on a killing spree that would leave two young children and their mother dead. Their father, Terry suffered multiple gunshot wounds but somehow managed to drag himself to a neighbor for help just before the house became engulfed in flames.
It took less than 24 hours for police to discover that Terry’s 16 year old daughter played an integral role in this heinous crime.
Why would a teenage girl want her whole family dead and exactly what role did she play in these brutal murders?
