Today in True Crime History: The Dardeen Family Massacre

Just one year after buying their first home together, Keith and Elaine Dardeen had decided it was time to move from the small city of Ina, Illinois. With a population of under 500, Ina had a surprisingly violent history, and the young couple dreamed of moving their growing family to a community that felt safer. The Dardeens had a toddler, and Elaine was expecting a new baby when they put their home on the market in 1987. Unfortunately the family wouldn't make it out of Ina alive. Thirty-five years ago today, were the victims of a gruesome multiple murder at the hands of a still-unknown perpetrator.

hello i just found this channel today, i have seen this case in other channels but i always try to look for anything new that i have not heard on these cases, this attack seems to personal if it was random the person or persons who did this would most likely just shoot them and leave
