98: The Damas Murders

MORBIDOLOGY
About this episode
In September of 2009, police in North Naples, Florida, conducted a welfare check on the Damas family after they hadn’t been seen for several days. When police entered the home, they immediately noticed blood pooling in front of a closed door underneath the stairs. They would be met by a particularly gruesome scene which spanned several rooms in the home. The grim discovery would be referred to as the most horrific and violent event the community had ever experienced and the responding officers would require extensive counselling in the aftermath.
