The Channel 8 logo appears, and the reporter starts talking to the audience: "A shocking story develops in Durango just off Route 550. A homicide case emerges from the rural home of the Grant family. 13-year-old Dennis Grant was found deceased with several stab wounds to the abdomen, and his head was nowhere to be seen. A blood trail leading to the basement from the living room shows that he was dragged, even having visible bruises on his ankles. His mother, Jennifer Grant's body, was also found deceased with burnt skin hanging by the roof of their front porch with a telephone wire. Dennis appeared to have tried to call the police, but the intruder cut the phone line just before he could finish giving the operator his address." Your blood runs cold.
