True Crime
THE STORY OF ONE OF THE MOST BIZARRE MASS MURDERS EVER
RECORDED. AND THE GIRL WHO ESCAPED WITH HER LIFE.
In
the fall of 2010, in the all-American town of Apple Valley,
Ohio, four people disappeared without a trace: Stephanie
Sprang; her friend, Tina Maynard; and Tina’s two children,
thirteen-year-old Sarah and eleven-year-old Kody.
Investigators began scouring the area, yet despite an
extensive search, no signs of the missing people were
discovered.
On the fourth day of the search,
evidence trickled in about neighborhood “weirdo” Matthew
Hoffman. A police SWAT team raided his home and found an
extremely disturbing sight: every square inch of the place
was filled with leaves and a terrified Sarah Maynard was
bound up in the middle of it like some sort of perverted
autumn tableau. But there was no trace of the
others.
Then came Hoffman’s confession to an
unspeakable crime that went beyond murder and defied all
reason. His tale of evil would make Sarah’s survival and
rescue all the more astonishing—a compelling tribute to a
young girl’s resilience and courage and to her fierce
determination to reclaim her life in the wake of
unimaginable wickedness.
