The Zimmer Family Murders

The Zimmer Family Murders

Picture it: you’ve just made a dream come true by moving from the midwest to the beach. What could make it better? Oh right, the perfect guy. Joe Collier was seemingly the perfect man for Candy Williams.  He was good looking, charming, smart, he seemed to have his act together. What’s not to like? Candy thought her search for the one was over. He spoiled her with gifts, he was always wanting to give her whatever she needed, he was so attentive to her.

But in April of 2006, she walked into her house to find what I would consider a horror scene. Every surface of the house was covered in thousands of post it notes, all of them saying something along the lines of I’m sorry, it’s too hard, I can’t do this. 

From here, Joe’s behavior became increasingly bizarre. Candy started to realize that he was not her perfect match. Just when she thought it couldn’t get any worse, she found out about…… the murders.
