Episode 68 - The Tiede Family

Grip Tape
About this episode
In December of 1990, the Tiede family was on a break from their hectic lives up at their remote country cabin in Oakley, Utah. Rolf and Kaye along with their two daughters Linae and Tricia were busily prepping for their annual Christmas party when suddenly, the tranquility was shattered by two cold-hearted intruders. The aftermath would haunt the Tiedes for years to come.
