Investigation Day 1

Taylor, Mississippi, farmer Tucker Allison called 911 after his son and a friend made a disturbing discovery on the family farm.

After Detectives Armstrong and Murphy examined the crime scenes, they talked to Mr. Allison about the find.

Then they asked young Freddy how he and his friend happened to locate the eerie scene.

After hearing Freddy’s story, the detectives spoke with Melissa to find out if she had any additional information.

Meanwhile, other investigators spoke to nearby residents to determine whether they’d seen or heard anything unusual in the area in recent weeks.
