The Wolcott Family Murders

Small Town Mysteries

This case created a lot of room for discussion. It is not a morally black or white case - there's a lot to unpack here!
The clip on social media that made me dig into this can be summed up as: a 15-year-old kid shot dead his parents and 17-year-old sister, citing his dislike for his mother’s loud chewing and his sister’s “annoying” accent, as well as his father’s disapproval of his anti-war views.
