Hell and Gone Murder Line: Aaron Hodge

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

In October of 1995, something strange was going on inside the Flick home at 302 McNabb Street in Rector, Arkansas. 

This family was made up of 36-year-old David Flick, his wife 34-year-old Barbara, their daughter 11-year-old Andria Flick, and Barbara’s son 17-year-old Aaron Michael Hodge, who she had from a previous relationship. 

Barbara was a nurse, and her husband David had a transmission shop that specialized in fixing transmissions. Friends and family said that they were a happy couple. 

Andria played basketball and did beauty pageants. Aaron was well liked by his friends as well, and both Andria and Aaron were popular at school. 

Andria, Barbara and David were planning on going to Florida to visit relatives, leaving Aaron at home. And like many teens at home alone, he threw a party. 

This seems perfectly normal… except that David, Barbara and Andria never arrived in Florida.  And several days laters, the police discovered their bodies, all shot to death in their house. 

On the surface, this appeared to be a perfect family, but detectives quickly discovered that things behind closed doors were far from what they seemed. 

What happened to turn the seemingly perfect family into a house of horrors?
