On April 12th, 2018, north carolina police received a phone call from Grace Pladl saying that her son, 42-year-old Steven Pladl, had just called her and told her that he had killed his daughter, his daughter's baby, and his daughter's adoptive father. Throughout the call, Steven is referring to his daughter as his “wife” and his daughter's baby as his baby. That's because Steven Pladl was married to his biological daughter, 19-year-old Katie Pladl, and furthermore had a child with her before murdering them both after Katie said she wanted a divorce.
