Erin Michelle Caffey was a 16 year old girl who was brought up in a loving religious home. Her mom and dad were together in the home and she had two younger brothers. As most teenagers do, Erin started to experience more freedom after she turned 16. She got her driver's license and a job at a fast food place. It was there that she met a 19 year old boy named Charlie Wilkinson who would become her everything. But Erin had a problem in that her parents did not approve of the relationship. Erin's thoughts turned to murder when she thought that was the only way she could keep her dream of happiness alive.

This is a case that will scare parents of children at any age. Your job as a parent is to keep your kids safe and help them flourish, but you never think that the danger will come from within.
