EP93: Disciples of Destruction

When Kimberly Cates went to bed the evening of September 4, 2009,
she had no idea that she would be startled awake later that night
and attacked in her bed with her 11-year-old daughter next to her.
Kimberly was murdered during a random home invasion by members of
the Disciples of Destruction, a “brotherhood” of some high school
friends that decided they would raise some hell and terrorize the
residents of the little rural town of Mont Vernon, New Hampshire.
Listen to this week’s episode to find out more about this little
town’s most heinous murder.
