In the quiet neighborhood of Jupiter, Florida, the Sitton family prepared to celebrate Thanksgiving 2009, a day that would forever change their lives. As the aroma of turkey filled the air and laughter echoed through their home, 6-year-old Makayla Hope delighted her family with impromptu songs, blissfully unaware of the sinister turn the evening would take. With 16 loved ones gathered around the table, the atmosphere was festive, but as night fell, a shadow crept through the halls. What was meant to be a celebration spiraled into chaos when gunshots shattered the holiday spirit. Amid the chaos, Jim and Muriel Sitton faced an unimaginable horror as their precious daughter lay asleep in her room, vulnerable to the darkness that had infiltrated their home. As the frantic search for the shooter began, questions loomed: What drove a family member to unleash such violence on those they once called kin? Join us as we unravel the chilling events of that fateful night, exploring the depths of familial loyalty, betrayal, and the haunting aftermath of tragedy.
