In March 2012, the quiet town of Urbana Ohio (about 50 miles west of Columbus) was rocked to its core when a local murder became national news \u2013 not just because of the horrendous nature of the crime, but the affiliation of the perpetrators with a loose-knit \u201cfamily\u201d whose insistence on loyalty turned twisted beyond belief.\xa0\xa0The victim, 21 year-old Jessica Rae Sacco, was found by her landlord, dead in the bathtub of the Urbana duplex she shared with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Matthew Puccio.\xa0 Jessica had been suffocated to death, her body partially dismembered and left behind in the bathtub.\xa0\xa0And it was the partial dismemberment of the body \u2013 and the story behind it \u2013 that made this case so horrifying \u2013 both in its cruelty and its evil, unforgivable, incomprehensible stupidity.\xa0\xa0Jessica had fallen in with Puccio, who she met online and was four years her senior, shortly after the young woman \u2013 who was bipolar and on medication \u2013 had moved in to the duplex on Light Street in Urbana.\xa0 Puccio moved in, convinced Jessica to go off her meds, and quickly invited his friends Andrew and Kandis Forney to live with them in the small duplex.\xa0\xa0Jessica and the Forneys did not get along from the beginning \u2013 and, now off her medication, life became miserable for Jessica.\xa0 She and Puccio fought often, and on that fateful March day in 2012, after another fight (the background of which is disputed), Puccio first stabbed, and then suffocated, Jessica.\xa0\xa0But here\u2019s where the story turns bizarre and into pure evil.\xa0\xa0It turns out that Puccio, the Forneys and \u2013 hard to believe it\u2019s true \u2013 the other couple Puccio texted for help after he\u2019d stabbed Jessica \u2013 Sharon Cook and Christopher Wright \u2013 were all part of a minor cult who call themselves \u201cJuggalos,\u201d fans of the hip hop/metal band Insane Clown Posse.\xa0 The Juggalo culture, while mostly harmless, projects an ominous and foreboding front \u2013 and its secretive, loyalty-based sense of \u201cfamily\u201d has produced more than its share of criminal activity over the years.\xa0 In the case of what happened to Jessica Sacco, that loyalty went beyond mere criminality and over the cliff into unimaginable depravity.\xa0 Suffice it to say that the five friends hung out together for FIVE HOURS with Jessica wounded by a stab wound before Puccio finally suffocated her \u2013 and then the parts of Jessica\u2019s body that weren\u2019t found in her bathtub were scattered by Puccio and his Juggalo brethren in various locations for reasons that, given the fact that they left most of the body to be found in the duplex, make sense only to the deranged.\xa0\xa0Join Melissa as she goes over the details of this truly disturbing murder \u2013 and the fate of each of the perpetrators \u2013 only one of which ended up with a life sentence \u2013 and decide for yourself whether justice has been served.
