The gruesome murder of Colleen Ritzer in 2013 shocked everyone. Colleen was a young, well-loved math teacher in a small Massachusetts town, and her killer was a quiet, but seemingly kind, freshman soccer player.

The death of any person at the hands of a killer is always terrifying, but today’s case, which grapples with understanding how a 14 year old could suddenly murder his math teacher, is truly frightening.
