On January 6th, 2007, an innocent couple was kidnapped by a group of thieves with malicious plans, straight from the parking lot of their friend's apartment complex. The horrific things that were then done to the couple would go on to shock the nation, and would leave a wound in Knoxville, Tennessee that will never truly be healed. This episode is graphic and disturbing, and listener discretion is DEFINITELY advised. You're listening, to MURDER IN AMERICA.
