This week, we take a look at a homicide that caught everyone by surprise. A murder that makes us wonder how someone could be capable of such a terrible act This story takes us to Akron, Ohio, where a family of four lives a very traditional American life. Steven and Brenda are the parents of two teenage children, Sydney and her brother, Andrew. This was your typical family: both parents worked, the kids who were now off to college - got good grades, and they got a chance to go on vacation in the summer, whether it was to Disney or the beach. They had a 529 plan set up to cover tuition costs. The road is open to possibilities for their children's future. The kids would most likely follow their parents footprints and continue with the same tradition.
