This extreme reaction offers an explanation as to why the specifics of what happened at the Mackenzie House of being withheld deigned to traumatic for public knowledge. A rare court issued suppression Oda has banned the exact details from ever being reported.

The information presented in this case far left aside his collided from the widely publicized facts. Three days before Karen Mackenzie was found murdered. She had attended a house party in general then Daniel had a great to baby sit his two youngest sisters affording his mouth. or a rare and welcome to night out.

The township was gripped by fear that the unknown sadistic killer, which struck a and no one could understand why anyone would want to hurt Karen and her kids, especially in such a violent and arrange the way the police didn't say to me such as they didn't want to cause any unnecessary alarm. They simply want the community to take proper safety measures, All it was possible that the killings were a random attack. This didn't appear to be the case to get through the Mackenzie ass.
