Amity is a small farming and logging town in Maine of around 200 located near the Canadian border. It is the kind of location people seek out for a quiet and peaceful life. It has not a single store, gas station or even traffic light. In 2010, a shocking murder was discovered inside a mobile home, leaving residents of the sparsely populated community anguished at how such a brutal crime could have happened in their tiny community.
