The Ohio Hollow Tree Fetish Murders | The Case of Sarah Maynard | UNSEEN
“I just know it, there’s something wrong with my kids”On November 11th 2010, cops enter Tina Hermann’s home after receiving a 911 call from her manager Valerie, who reported how unusual it was for her to miss a day’s work without telling anyone. The house is empty, and Tina and her entire family are gone: a suspicious scene reveals bloodstains, motor oil, a Walmart receipt, a missing car, but most shockingly, a woman-size shoe print leaving the home, meaning someone walked out of there, alive, and as the community begins to hunt for the missing family, time is running out for Sarah, who is now trapped in ‘the house of leaves.’ You can donate for Sarah’s ‘Healing Hearts Memorial Fund’ here:https://fairfieldcf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/fund?funit_id=1199
