Plot Synopsis

FAMILY MASSACRE is a one-hour documentary series that explores some of the most ruthless murders ever committed. This series follows the true and gruesome tales of the unthinkable: multiple members of the same family slain in cold blood. In each episode, we hear from friends and surviving relatives, those people closest to the family that was massacred, while also detailing the work of the dedicated investigators and prosecutors tasked with finding their killer and bringing them to justice. Through first-hand accounts, archival footage and cinematic recreations, we see the twists and turns of the investigation unfold and delve deep into who could have committed such a shocking crime and just how they were caught and made to answer for it. The series opener chronicles the story of the Holland family, a family of four found dead inside a partially burned Indiana home. When investigators discover that two of the victims died by gunshot wounds the race is on to determine whether the killer was a stranger or someone closer to home.
