  • 10 - Jerry Lee Harris

    Jerry Lee Harris was an unstoppable force when it came to business. On a typical evening in October, he roared out of the driveway of his newly purchased pink mansion, in his trademark bright yellow Mercedes. His wife, Susan, didn’t wait up for him. She knew Jerry would be out late. But Jerry didn’t make it home, he would never come home again.

  • 6 - The List Family

    The List family was active in the small town of Westfield, New Jersey. A suburb of New York, where some of Wall-streets biggest players lived to get away from it all. 

     

    The List’s lived in the largest home, in one of the nicest areas of town. 

     

    After an extended trip to North Carolina, the lights in the windows started burning out, and the grass was over grown, leaving the house looking abandoned. 

     

    Neighbors began to wonder if the List’s were ever going to return from their impromptu trip. There was even talk that something sinister had happened…
