The Smith family flew to the city where Elizabeth attended college to have their family's Thanksgiving dinner. They rented a condo where the sheriff's oldest daughter and husband cooked a turkey and all of the side dishes that the family love to have. The easiest dish to make and the sheriff does that dish is cranberry sauce. The family was enjoying their dinner when Sheriff Smith recieved a call from the town's mayor that he was needed back as soon as possible. The family could tell something was wrong.
When he hung up the phone he looked as white as a ghost. He informed his family he needed to fly back immediately that Jacob Miles and the other four deputies was missing. A hunter found the cars abandon up by the hunting lodge. Henry called the man whom he had asked to supervise the camp while he was gone . Alex informed him that they found all five deputies hanging from trees.
They had been gutted like a hunter would do to a deer that he had just killed. Henry decided to fly back home with his father On the way back to Snow Cap Ridge they compiled a list of possible suspects and motives for the senseless murders. Sheriff Smith kept wondering what had the deputies stumbled onto. The city officials didn't want any of the deputies to have guns because it was a crime free town and there was no need for guns..
