Warning: this is one of the most twisted cases I’ve come across. Mature audiences only.

The police received a disturbing call about something that was discovered. There was a man’s body on the shoreline outside of someone’s home.

Dispatcher: 911, what is the address of the emergency?

Caller: Coeur d’Alene.

Dispatcher: Ok, and tell me exactly what happened.

Caller: I believe that there’s a dead body on our shoreline right outside of our house.

Larry and Lori Met In Idaho

Larry Isenberg met Laurcene “Lori” Barnes in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Larry was a ranger and a fisherman. He was divorced at the time. And he had two children from his previous marriage.

Meanwhile, Lori was also divorced.

She had grown up in a religious home. Her family was very poor and sometimes squatted in empty farmhouses. Then she married her high school sweetheart, Steven Barnes, at the age of nineteen.
