Home from a long day of activities, Claudia and Chip left their window open as they drifted off to sleep in the cool of the evening.
Hours later, a figure appeared outside their window.
I'm 48 Hours correspondent Erin Moriarty.
I've been reporting on murder cases for over three decades.
So you probably think that after all this time, I've seen it all.
And actually, I thought I had too, until I encountered two senseless, inexplicable murders.
Just the torture of the bodies.
You know, putting inanimate objects in their body.
and the mastermind behind them.
This is 15, Inside the Daniel Marsh Murders.
Episode one, A Quiet Life Shattered.
Before we begin, just a trigger warning.
The following episode contains references to graphic physical violence.
This is Chip's daughter, Mary Northup.
When Chip met Claudia at the church he helped start, he was actually married to his second wife, Marlon, and was still on good terms with his first wife,
but Marlon was now dying of cancer.
Chip's son, Robert Northup, said that even though his father's relationship with Claudia moved quickly, the whole family was on board.
When you talk about Claudia, how would you describe Claudia?
