EP207: The Stay Family Massacre

July 9, 2014, started off as a beautiful summer day in suburban Houston, Texas. The Stay Family consisted of seven people—Katie and Stephen (mom and dad, 33 and 39 respectively), and their five children, 15-year-old Cassidy, 13-year-old Bryan, 9-year-old Emily, 7-year-old Rebecca, and the baby of the family, 4-year-old Zachary. On this particular Wednesday, Katie and Stephen were out running errands and had left the children at home with the eldest, Cassidy at the helm. Cassidy and her brothers and sisters were just hanging around the house in Spring, TX when the doorbell rang. Cassidy answered and with that, Cassidy's life, as well as those of her family would change forever.
