Synopsis: THEY VANISHED WITHOUT A TRACE... When prosperous lawyer Ernest Brendel mysteriously disappeared, along with his wife Alice, and their 8-year-old daughter Emily, friends in their close-knit Rhode Island neighborhood worried the family had been kidnapped. It would be agonizing months into a massive FBI search before they would know the heartbreaking truth. UNTIL A VIOLENT STORM UNEARTHED THE HORRIFYING SCENE... The shaken community began to lose hope that the family would ever be found alive. Their worst fears were confirmed when heavy rains from a tropical storm uncovered Alice and Brendel's badly decomposed bodies--shot with a giant crossbow, strangled, and buried in the quiet woods of the town. Lying under her mother's corpse was little Emily's lifeless body, now a silent witness to her killer's shocking identity. THE INVESTIGATION REVEALED A DANGEROUS KILLER WHO CALLED HIMSELF A FRIEND... Like a hand pointing from the grave, the evidence led authorities to one of Ernest Brendel's closest and most trusted friends. What Ernest couldn't have known was that Christopher Hightower--a Sunday school teacher and respected member of the community--was a psychotic liar obsessed with greed, jealousy, and murderous revenge.
