What if the most brutal family massacre in Detroit's history was never solved-not because the killer vanished, but because the truth was too terrifying to face?

On the morning of July 3, 1929, real estate agent Vincent Elias stepped into the home at 3587 St. Aubin Street and uncovered a scene of unimaginable horror. Benny Evangelista-a self-proclaimed mystic and healer-was found decapitated at his desk. His wife, Santina, and their four young children lay murdered in their beds. The basement housed an eerie occult shrine, complete with wax figures and cryptic manuscripts. Despite extensive investigations, the case remains unsolved nearly a century later.books.apple.com+1sodeadpodcast.com+1
