Imagine having kids who can speak five languages by their mid-teens. Daughters who are described by an experienced, senior childcare professional as the most intelligent she has come across in thirty years of working with adolescents.Can there be a greater dream for loving parents? College awaits, then a top job with all that brings in terms of comfort and lifestyle. Who knows, these caring kids might even look after their mom and dad in old age. But the dream turned into a nightmare for one parent of super-intelligent children.Linda Andersen's daughters certainly fitted that high IQ category; but unlike other clever kids, they used their intelligence for the most disingenuous of reasons: to plan the murder of their mother.

Michelle and David Knotek lived just outside of Raymond, Washington. Their home was one of the better ones in the area - on the outside at least. Theirs was a large and beautiful farmhouse sitting in its own four acre plot. The idyll was furthered by the large number of well cared for animals that roamed the farmhouse's extensive grounds. But inside the warm walls life was very different; three people were murdered viciously within that plot; two following months of monstrous torture after which their bodies simply stopped working.

Dawn Magyar led a seemingly idyllic life with her high school sweetheart Don. The two married young, had a young son and seemed destined for a happy life....until one Saturday afternoon when Dawn went grocery shopping, never to be seen again. Her body would eventually be found with Dawn the victim of a brutal homicide. The murder shocked the Michigan small town as the killing would remained unsolved for thirty years had it not been for some foresight of the detective at the time. The case would not be solved during his career, but thanks to the DNA saving measures he made, Dawn's killer would eventually be brought to justice...
