Description

In 1937, in Cheyenne, Wyoming, an anguished father made the decision to end his mentally ill daughter's life rather than commit her to an insane asylum. After signing a joint suicide pact to die together, the father first killed the girl and then attempted to take his own life. Forever known as Cheyenne's "mercy slayer," the man survived to face the consequences of his unimaginable crime.
