The Halloween Murders of the Liske Family

Halloween 2010 was meant to be like any other day for 16-year-old Devon Griffin. Noticing how quiet his home was, he attempted to search for his mother and stepfather, Susan and William Liske. As he entered their bedroom, he found a blanket pulled over their heads. Believing it was a Halloween prank, he removed the blanket from their heads. His gruesome discovery would lead to his stepbrother, BJ’s, arrest for the brutal murders of Susan and William Liske, and Susan’s son Derek Griffin.
