In 1984, Terrence Humphreys relocated to the region, establishing a seemingly unremarkable presence. However, over the course of several years, Humphreys became infamous for a gruesome series of four murders. The lifeless bodies were discovered in close proximity to the old pumping station, and forensic analysis revealed compelling DNA evidence unequivocally pointing to Terrance Humphreys as the perpetrator.
