On Valentine’s Day 2017, the Boulder, CO police department was working overtime; they had a missing family to find. Ashley Mead, a vibrant, hard-working 25-year-old, had not shown up for work that day. Her baby, Winter Daisy, was also missing, and there was no sign of Ashley’s boyfriend, Adam Densmore.

In the hours that followed, police worked tirelessly to locate the family; the clues to their fate were grotesque and haunting. The community of Boulder was in shock in the aftermath of the crime, and loved ones were shattered.

Experts describe what led up to the hideous moment that decided the fate of this family. Consider closely, because it could happen to you and to anyone you hold dear.
