Jared was already in the back of a patrol car.

His mom Lynn was weeping on the front lawn.

His father Rodney paced back and forth when he wasn't seated on his riding mower.

Other deputies kept them separate and took all of their phones.

The lead deputy had the big picture, but the lead paramedic filled in the details.

That redhead boy.

He'd seen him before.

But as the scene unfolded, something didn't sit right.

What they found inside that small apartment was worse than anyone expected.

And the truth was far stranger than the assumptions that had brought them there.

Whatever happened wasn't just violent.

It was something deeper.

It was something harder to name.

The body of Angie Diaz was found on the floor of a small apartment she shared with her husband, Jared Dykus.

But her head was found in the bathtub.

Newlyweds Jared and Angie had so much promise.

Now, Jared was charged with her murder.

But the media calling it a horrific case of domestic violence didn't really tell the whole story.

You see, the sheriff's department was familiar with the address.

When they got there, they assumed it would be more of the same.
