Part 4/8:
That fateful night, Ed returned home to find his home engulfed in flames. By morning, the cabin was reduced to ash, and the family was missing. However, a ghastly discovery awaited those who searched the ruins: the remains of the O’Neal family lay in a secret pit beneath the floorboards, along with the shocking evidence of a brutal crime that included signs indicating the children had met a horrendous fate.
The local sheriff quickly became embroiled in a complex investigation marked by suspicion and intrigue. As rumors swirled, the sheriff became skeptical not only of Ed’s behavior but also of Patsy, who was missing among the remains, raising immediate questions about her involvement.
