However, that isn't a good enough punishment in someone's view. A killer hacks Ida Frank's family to death with the Moser Mansion's hatchet. Rafe Johnson's blood hounds trail a scent to the mansion and tree Gracie's rocker. Locked Rock citizens are on edge and looking for someone to blame for the murders.
