Episode 315 - It’s Happening - The Murder of Matthew Restelli

A ten-hour drive through the night to American Fork, Utah. A message that sounded like forgiveness. An unlocked door waiting at the end of it.

Matthew Restelli believed he was going to bring his family home. Instead, he stepped into something already set in motion. Inside that home, nothing was as it seemed. Not the messages. Not the welcome. Not even the danger.
