The Minds Of Madness - True Crime Stories

It was a cool fall morning in Medford, Oregon when police picked up three young runaways by the side of the road. 19-year-old Gavin MacFarlane, a high school dropout, his girlfriend, 15-year-old Ellen Friar, and their mutual friend 22-year-old, Russell Pierce Jones II, a young man with a criminal record and a history of mental illness.
