Episode 412: The Hernlen Family
911 dispatcher Donna Choufani heard 5-year-old Tina telling her “I said Mommy & Daddy, and they didn’t even answer”, she knew the worst had happened at the Florida family home of the Hernlens. But what authorities found when they arrived at the home was something nightmares are made out of. Julie and Aeneas Hernlen had been documenting harassment by a local man who believed they were responsible for his arrest. But a restraining order was denied, and Johnson was determined to get “revenge” - for something that the Hernlens were not involved in at all.
