On 15 March, 1989, a security guard was patrolling a shopping center in Frederick, Maryland. The shopping center had closed for the night, but as he approached one of the stores, he observed that the lights were still switched on. He proceeded through the store, only to be met by a gruesome scene in the storage room.
