About this episode
New Year's Eve is a time for reflection and hope. A moment to bid farewell to the past and embrace the future. But for one family in St. Joseph Township Michigan, the festivities in 2018 would be cut short in the most brutal way.

At 11 PM, the police department received a chilling 911 call from a woman in distress. Her voice was shaking, her words barely audible, but the message was clear, her husband had been shot, and he needed help fast.
