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.
