Yes, you read that wordy title right. in late 2010 a man by the name of Matthew Hoffman entered the home of the Herrmann's, killed Tina (Mom), Kody (Son), and Stephanie (mom's friend), dismembered them and stashed them away. On top of that, he kidnapped 13-year-old Sarah and kept her captive for four long days. He did unspeakable things to poor Sarah who, when found, was just worried about her school attendance.
Hoffman was dubbed the leaf killer not just because he was profession tree trimmer, but more so due to the fact his home was filled floor to ceiling with leaves. Just thousand and thousands of leaves.
