Sword and Scale Episode 39
Why would a young boy with his entire life ahead of him would choose instead to destroy it, and commit an act of unspeakable violence towards the people that love and care for him most? Today we cover two shocking 911 calls: Alex Crain woke up one morning and killed his mom and dad for seemingly no reason, and Jake Evans killed his mother and sister one night because he liked a horror movie and wanted to see what it was like to commit murder. Both teenage boys handle the aftermath differently, yet both seem to fully realize what they've done very shortly after the act.
