Authors:  Ambar Wallace and Maeve Ross

Description: On July 24, 1984 Allen Lafferty walked into his Utah home to find his wife, Brenda Wright Lafferty, and his 15 month old daughter, Erica, brutally murdered. Time would determine that the men responsible for the murder were Allen Lafferty's brothers. Although this case has been solved, the question remains whether or not the Lafferty brothers were truly evil or if they were motivated by their faith.
