Finding the lock on the driver’s side jammed, she went to the passenger’s side. A man leaned through the open window of a van parked in the next spot, pressed a silenced pistol to the back of Margaret’s head, and fired. She was dead before she hit the pavement.

Publisher's Summary
A mother and her three young children are found hacked to death in their beds. The apparent weapons, an ax and butcher knife, are found nearby. A month later, the husband and father, who was away on a business trip when the bodies were found, is accused of the killings. Police believe he methodically murdered his wife and children before he left. But why?
A successful businessman and devoted member of a fundamentalist religious group, David Hendricks has the total support of his extended family. Police paint a darker picture, and prosecutors face the daunting task of convicting him on a case based on completely circumstantial evidence.
A New York Times best seller, this book has now been updated with additional content.

I feel like I am now almost an expert in a crime that I had never heard of before reading this book.
I listened to the audiobook, which was a recommendation after listening to many true crime audiobooks. This was my first delve into a Steve Vogel book, and I don't think it will be my last. I think it was very well researched, and I liked how he was not afraid to not have an opinion, but presented all of the facts and outlined the inconsistencies in the prosecutions case and the issues with David Hendrix's story.
The story of the Hendrix family is really very heartbreaking- Susan (30), Rebekah (9), Grace (7), and Benjamin (5) where brutally murdered (with an axe and butcher knife) while asleep in their beds. Police suspicion immediately falls on David Hendrix who was out of town at the time of. the murders. The prosecution assembles a case based on circumstantial evidence and pseudo science, that did not convince me that David Hendrix was guilty... however, the defence also failed to present an alternate theory of what might have happened.
I am unsure of what happened to the Hendrix family. I want to believe that David did not brutally murder his family, but there is no other logical theory! I don't believe there was evidence to convict David, but I am also not sure that he wasn't guilty.
Great book, looking forward to reading more by Steve Vogel in the future.
