Director/Writer: Irene Taylor Brodsky 

Synopsis:  On May 31, 2014 in the woods of Waukesha, Wisconsin, two 12-yr-old girls, Morgan Geyser & Anissa Weier, stabbed their friend Bella Leutner 19 times & left her to die. Bella managed to crawl to the road & get help; she told her rescuers that ‘her best friend’ was the one who stabbed her. Morgan & Anissa were picked up not long after by police, & it was then they confessed to stabbing Bella in an effort to please Slenderman.

Tommy & Austin Tilden are father & son coroners who have the body of a Jane Doe delivered to their home-morgue after the police discover it half-buried in the cellar at the scene of an already gruesome & very confusing crime scene. The pair realize there are some serious abnormalities with their corpse before they even cut her open. Her wrists & ankles appear to be broken, but there are no marks on her body. And it just gets weirder from there.
