One rainy evening in 1977, Camden County police entered a lake cabin in the Ozarks, where they found what can only be described as a blood bath. Four young children lay slaughtered inside their family home, stabbed, shot, and beaten in various ways, and strewn across the house. But while police initially profiled the culprit as a young adult man, little did they know that the real killer, who lived a few doors down, was only a 14-year-old boy.
Billy joins us to revisit the crime that rattled a quiet Ozark community and traumatized a young family. This two-part story will be difficult to listen to and even harder to begin to understand. But as we probe this case, we seek the answer to one question that can only be given by Billy Dyer: why did he do it?
