Josh heard the fire alarm going off.

He rushed to his brother’s room to wake him up, but he wasn’t there.

Melanie Davis was a forty-five-year-old mother who lived in Hendersonville, Tennessee.

Melanie worked as a paralegal and trained as a triathlete.

She had two sons, Josh and Zachary Davis, with her husband, Chris Davis. And Melanie and Chris raised their children in a loving and happy home.

Josh and Zachary had quite opposite personalities. Josh was more outgoing. Zachary was a loner, quiet, and emotionally withdrawn. But the two were very close to each other.
