it was a stale night in mid July when Charles Barnett took the family axe and gruesomely murdered his wife and three children. this would become known as the infamous Barnett family massacre. however, two of the five children survived. fifteen year old Finch, and eighteen year old Forest. originally it was believed that Forest was the killer, at the time of police arrival, Finch was missing while Forest lay gravely injured beside his father who was slain to death on the floor. for the corrupt and unprepared police force in the poverty stricken and rural area of that corner of the Appalachians during the height of satanic panic, it appeared to be a cut and dry case. a troublesome tattooed teen who enjoyed listening to metal and whos toxicology report came back positive for oxycodone had a much larger motive than a hardworking and heavily religious father. or so it seemed. with no witnesses left to tell the true story, the police built a case against Forest Barnett which would quickly become a topic of heated debate and still is to this day. with pressure building from media all over the country, Forest was charged and sentenced to the death penalty. he would spend the next seven years on death row, waiting his turn for lethal injection until one day everything changed when Finch was found wandering the highway nearest to the family home, seemingly reappearing after years of being missing. this only added to the mystery already surrounding the barnett family and forced all eyes on the police and the exploitation they had made when gathering evidence. after much deliberation the case was reopened and a new and fresh look at forensics made it clear that Forest Barnett was innocent.
