Just after midnight on September 13, 1990, a security company in Lexington, South Carolina, received an alarm alert from 5037 Sunset Boulevard. Attempts to contact the home’s occupants failed, prompting police to investigate. What they found inside was a horrifying scene that would haunt the town for years. In a place built on tradition and close ties, the crime raised profound questions of justice, family, and forgiveness.
