March 3 Hinterkaifeck Murders
In the weeks leading up to the murder, the family reported strange occurrences. The farm's patriarch found unfamiliar footprints in the snow leading from the nearby woods to the house, but none leading away. Family members heard unexplained noises in the attic and other disturbances. Newspapers went missing from the house in addition to keys and tools that had been misplaced.
On the evening the murder took place, the killer used a pickaxe-like farm tool that belonged to the family to bludgeon the victims in the head. They were systematically lured to the barn, one-by-one, where they were killed. The bodies were then stacked and covered with straw. The youngest member of the family, Josef, was killed in his bassinet. Their new maid was murdered in her bedchamber.
Evidence strongly suggests that the perpetrator remained on the farm for several days after the murder. The farm animals were fed, the kitchen was used, the dog was tied up and smoke was seen billowing from the chimney. Neighbors noted no activity from the family starting April 1.
Who could've wanted to harm the family? What did they have to gain from killing everyone? What was the motive?

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
