Her Parents Told Her She Couldn’t See Her Boyfriend Anymore, She Had Them Brutally Murdered in Their Sleep
The Caffey tragedy
On what seemed like an ordinary evening in Alba, Texas, Tommy Gaston was shocked to see his neighbor outside his door, barely clinging to his life.
There was also a burning house in the distance. Tommy immediately called 911.
Tommy: This is Tommy Gaston. I’ve got a man that’s been shot.
Dispatcher: Alright sir I have a few questions that I need to ask you ok. Is he conscious?
Tommy: Yes. Dispatcher: And is he breathing?
Tommy: Yes. Dispatcher: When did this happen?
Tommy: I don’t know. Just a little bit ago. And we’ve also got a house on fire out here.
The police rushed to the crime scene and found a much more horrible situation.
The Caffey Family
The Caffey family were very devout Christians.
The father, Terry, was a pastor. Terry and his wife, Penny, had three children together, 16-year-old Erin, 13-year-old Matthew, and 8-year-old Tyler.
Erin sang in the choir, and she often sang solos.
