The Family That was Murdered and Set On Fire
Murdered and then set on fire, who was the Klaus Family’s enemy? And what happened to the missing deer head?
On Sunday the 8th December 2013, cold, dreary morning on the chilly land of farmers in Alberta, something went drastically array. A fire station in Castor, Alberta, received a disturbing call. A truck full of these men rushed towards a farmhouse that was reported to have gone up in flames. The sight that greeted them could only be described as gruesome at best.
A Crime Scene or a Bonfire?
Receiving a call around 7 in the morning, a truck of firefighters loaded up and struggled to make its way on the roads that were glazed over with snow, dangerous and foreboding. Upon reaching there, the first dead body they encountered was that of a dog. Maliciously killed with a blow to his head, the chocolate-colored lab retriever lay on the grounds of the burning farmhouse, a mere distance away from the inferno. A few feet from the dog lay a red plastic can, still smoking from the flames, still with a bit of gasoline in it.
