It started with a letter taped onto the front door of the American Atheist Headquarters in Austin, TX on August 28, 1995. The letter claimed that the organization’s founding family, Madalyn Murray-O’Hair, her son Jon Murray, and granddaughter Robin had been called away for an emergency and not to worry. At first, nothing seemed strange other than their swift departure, but after about a week, members of the organization started to worry. This is a story of greed, abduction, and murder.

When the smoke cleared, it appeared there had been no enemy attack at all. What had people seen and what had the armed forces fired at?
