(13:07) - The Cheshire Murders

In July 2007, Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her 11-year-old daughter Michaela went to the grocery store to buy ingredients for a recipe Michaela wanted to make. There, they would cross paths with a man named Joshua Komisarjevsky who would follow them home to plan his next home invasion.

That night, Joshua and his accomplice Hayes broke into the family's home and tortured them for hours. In the morning, they forced Jennifer to the bank to withdraw $15,000. Before leaving the bank, Jennifer was able to alert the teller who immediately called 911.

Things came crumbling down when Joshua and Hayes realized Dr. William Petit escaped and crawled to a neighbor's home looking for help, despite his severe injuries. The men panicked and used gasoline to light the home ablaze while police set up a perimeter.

Jennifer, Michaela and 17-year-old Hayley were all killed inside. Dr. William Petit was the lone survivor of the attack.
