Summary
In the sweltering heat of a Maryland summer night, a routine traffic stop for fake license plates unravels into a nightmare when officers detect the unmistakable stench of decay emanating from a woman's trunk, a smell she dismisses as nothing more than dirty laundry. What they uncover beneath layers of trash bags and blankets are the mummified remains of two young children, a niece and nephew whose final words, "Can you lay me down?" would become the haunting epitaph of a double murder hidden in plain sight for over a year.
