The couple was shot dead in their home. Their rings were taken, and their wallets and credit cards were stolen. They were covered in blankets, and their blood was seeping through the two layers.

Insights from Chapter 2

#1

George Price, a captain in the U. S. Air Force, was separated from his family by about 115 miles. He tried to contact them, but couldn’t. Finally, he went to see if they were okay, but they weren’t home.

#2

On June 2, George and his wife, Diana, went to visit Brian and Jeannie. They found the house empty, with no signs of forced entry. They heard noises coming from the backyard, and called the police.

When Joe Matise arrived, he told George and Diana that their parents were dead. The police, fire department, and news reporters all came soon after.

After the bodies were removed, the detectives continued their search for clues inside the Leggs’ home. They found a bullet fragment on the family room floor, behind the love seat where the victims had been seated, and a bullet under the carpet in the master bedroom.
