Rising Sun is a small city of around 2,300 residents, located in Randolph Township in Indiana. It’s located around 25 miles southwest of Cincinnati, making it the perfect commuter town for those who want to break away from city life. Due to the small size, the city has a more townlike feel to it, and people like to look out for their neighbours. It’s the kind of town where people grow up and stay to raise their own families. In 2009, a teenage boy entered the police department in Rising Sun. He had a gruesome confession to make.
