Description

On June 18th, the night before Father’s Day in 2011, three members of the Ortiz family were brutally slain in their home. At the scene there is a lot of motive, marijuana plants and cash. However, none seemed to be the motive for the murders as it was all still at the scene when police arrived. Even more puzzling was the absence of physical evidence. Who could have killed Lloyd and Dixie and their 21 year old special needs son, Steven?
