Living inside a small trailer are Manuel Guillen "Manny" and his girlfriend Brianna Stallings… And they've been hiding a horrifying secret that these detectives are about to uncover.

A year ago, the couple killed their daughter… buried her body in the woods near their trailer… and continued living as if nothing happened.

Over time, Brianna's family began to grow suspicious, tipping off police that something was seriously wrong.

But by the time investigators catch on to the lies, both killers would walk free… leaving their families and detectives to confront one of the darkest and most tragic discoveries of their lives.
