And it seemed it had…when on the morning of August 30th, 2023, a 12-year-old boy climbed out one of the windows to make an escape.

In the very early morning hours of October 4th, 2009, a quiet town in New Hampshire was shattered by a brutal and senseless attack, leaving a mother dead and her daughter gravely injured.

The motive for the gruesome home invasion was chillingly absent, leading investigators to classify it as a "Thrill Kill."

But as police dug deeper into the case, they uncovered a disturbing revelation: the perpetrators of the horrific attack were a group of teenage outcasts driven by a dark and twisted ideology.
