When the frozen carcass of Nathanial Higgins was discovered at the bottom of the ravine, his children readily admitted to rolling their deceased father’s body over the cliff and down the hillside just as the latest snow storm of the century was about to hit. They reasoned that since they could not afford a proper burial, their father would find eternal peace in the nature he so dearly loved. But as the children were being released into their aunt’s care, Sheriff John Willard couldn’t help but think back two years ago, when their mother had perished in that suspicious barn fire.
