On Christmas Eve 2008, the Ortega family held their annual holiday party with all their family and friends. As the party was winding down, Santa paid a visit as he had many years before. Unfortunately, it wasn't the Santa they all knew and loved. Instead of a bag full of goodies, he brought a nightmare that was unleashed on the entire family.
Join us for this disturbing holiday tale as Elysia walks through the many twists and turns of the investigation and Savannah shames Santa.
