My Husband Tried to Kill My Parents — He Wiped Out His Own Family Instead

While vacationing at their vineyard in Napa Valley, my husband Julian's family was bitten by venomous snakes.

His company was the only one in the entire country that stocked the antivenom.

I called him.

What came through the line was an ambiguous moan, mingled with the faint sound of running water.

Before I could get a word out, the call was cut off.

Julian's parents died in the hospital, treatment coming far too late.

Then Julian himself called me back.

"Don't cremate your parents' bodies yet. Have them shipped to my company. We'll use them as research specimens."
