The Baffling Murder of Peter Porco

Send us a text

On the morning of November 15, 2004, Peter Porco woke up as usual and carried out his typical morning routine: he packed a lunch, he filled the dishwasher, and he wrote and signed a check to his son Christopher. He even locked himself out of the house, found his spare key, and let himself back in.
And then, Peter Porco fell over and died. It would seem so random – he had a completely normal morning, after all – except for the fact that Peter had been struck in the head 16 times with an axe prior to getting out of bed and somehow carried on with his day despite the horrific blood trail he left throughout his home.
