It\u2019s October of 2014, and the people of Duncan, Oklahoma, are concerned. They haven\u2019t seen the Hruby family all weekend. The Hruby\u2019s are usually everywhere. They own the local newspaper. They\u2019re actively involved in the community. But on Monday morning, their longtime housekeeper made a gruesome discovery. John, Tinker, and 17-year-old Katherine Hruby were dead. Everyone in the Hruby family was dead. Everyone but Alan.

In the late 60\u2019s, the original owner\u2019s youngest daughter Elisabeth promised the home to the university upon her death. But her death came sooner than anticipated.

Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
