Felony Friday - The Spirit of Death (Patreon)

Some say that a grandfather is someone with silver in his hair, and gold in his heart.  But in the case of 51-year old Don Spirit, the grandfather had blood in his hair, and pure evil in his heart.  In a family massacre that rocked the state of Florida to its core, we examine what happens when the very systems designed to protect the most vulnerable in society - our children, fail miserably.
