For five desperate days, hundreds of volunteers combed the city, holding vigils and clinging to hope for her safe return.Then a shocking discovery just blocks away would reveal a betrayal so profound it would shatter a community's trust forever. The man responsible wasn't a stranger—he was a neighbor, a father whose own daughter had been Alejandra's classmate.This is the true story of how a domestic argument over household chores escalated into one of Indiana's most devastating crime sprees, claiming five innocent lives and revealing how quickly evil can hide behind familiar faces. Follow the investigation as it unfolds in real time, from the initial missing person case through the horrifying revelation that would connect two seemingly unrelated tragedies.
