Hugo Osorio was a former police officer who's life took a turn after being dismissed by the El Salvadorian police force.  Though his neighbors considered him a quiet, humble man, a scream in the night ended those illusions.  Police found four dead bodies in his house on May evening.  And then found another 40 buried on his land.  The murders were so chilling, so gruesome, the media began referring to Hugo's property as a house of horrors.  Despite all to the public outcry, the Attorney General's office has gone so far as to get an injunction prohibit the media from reporting on this case and has announced they will be working out a plea deal with this monstrous serial killer.  What is the story behind the headlines in this case?
