Hell and Gone

It was a really hot night in the middle of summer - July 4, 1988, in San Angelo, Texas.
Seventeen-year-old Shane Stewart was gearing up for the Fourth of July holiday celebrations by picking up his girlfriend, eighteen-year-old Sally McNelly, and they were going to watch the fireworks.
After that, Shane and Sally disappeared. They never made it home.
That was almost forty years ago - and since then this case has been caught up in rumors of Satanic Panic, a devil worshipping cult, a man who was arrested with blood and fingernails in his house, and whispers of a police conspiracy. But it all started with two missing teenagers.

On Easter Sunday, April 9, 2023, 21-year-old Ellie Baxter went to check on her parents at their home on Mersea Island, off the Essex coast, 64-year-old Carole Baxter and 61-year-old Stephen Baxter.
She knocked on the door, but no one answered. Ellie looked through the living room window and saw her parents sitting in their usual reclining chairs. But they weren’t moving – they were both sitting upright in their chairs dead.

At around eight o’clock on the morning of June 19, 2026, Federal Park Ranger Paul Scholtz was parking his patrol vehicle near the corner of Sixth and Market Streets in Philadelphia when he noticed a black BMW parked behind him.
Little did the Ranger know this routine encounter was about to open the door to an investigation involving multiple missing women, a deteriorating house in North Philadelphia that has been described by the media as a house of horrors, tens of thousands of videos that depicted at least two dead women , hundreds of thousands of images, vats of chemicals, fake federal credentials and questions police are still nowhere close to answering.

At around 4:30 in the morning on Thursday, June 14, 2007, police found the body of 22 year old Jennifer Kathleen Nielsen behind an AmeriKing Food Mart in Raleigh, North Carolina. Jenna was covered in blood, and had been stabbed multiple times. She was also eight and a half months pregnant with her third child.
Her father later remembered answering the phone that night, thinking that he would get the news that his daughter had gone into labor. Instead, he got the news that Jenna - and her unborn child - were dead behind a gas station.
