Episode 343: The Pendleton Quadruple Homicide

In November 2015, Amy Vilardi went to her mother’s home to check on her when she found a gruesome scene: her mother, Cathy Scott, her husband, Mike Scott, and their parents, Barbara Scott and Violet Taylor had been murdered. The case went cold for nearly 8 years until 2 persons of interest were named. Amy and her husband Ross Vilardi were arrested and charged with four counts of murder each, and they remain in jail today.
