CBS News June 28, 2008

"It's a nice place, everything's new. You hang out with your neighbors. You hang out with your neighbor's kids." But as correspondent Peter Van Sant reports, that sweet life was shattered on the night of Dec. 10, 2003, when Kevin and his family were gunned down in their home.

It's plausible that they could have surprised a burglar," Slot says. But as Slot combed through the Whitaker home, he realized things weren’t adding up.
