215. "Heavy Metal" - The Case of the Brom Family - Rochester, Minnesota [Part 1 of 2]

A welfare check, a notebook, and black hair dye.

On February 18th, 1988, a welfare check led to the discovery of four bodies inside the Brom Home in Rochester, Minnesota. Bernard and Paulette Brom along with two of their four children, 13-year-old Diane and 11-year-old Ricky, had been murdered with an axe.

One of their surviving sons, 16-year-old David, was missing.

As investigators pieced together what had happened inside the home that night, a troubling theory began to emerge.
