“Come quickly because I’m afraid.”--

On September 20th, 2013 9 yo Andrew Hockensmith frantically calls 911 from the back room of his parents' pawnshop, where an armed gunman has just stormed in. In spite of the danger, the boy only cares about saving his baby sister and urges the dispatcher to hurry and send help.

Just 6 minutes later, police enter the pawn shop and are horrified to find 3 bodies. They soon determine that this triple homicide is no simple robbery gone wrong--instead, a shocking narrative is uncovered, involving betrayal, pawn shop gold, and a supposedly beloved pastor.
