In June 2014, Derek and Maria Broaddus, after months of searching, completed the purchase of their new property, located in the town of Westfield within the US state of New Jersey. Commencing renovations prior to moving in, the family frequently visited the house to check the progress of alterations. When Derek stopped by the house alone, checking the work that had been done, and then collect the mail from within the mailbox. Derek pulled out a white envelope endorsed with handwriting unfamiliar to him and addressed simply to “The New Owner.” The contents of this letter would start a chain of events that created suspicion, fear, police investigations, and ultimately saw to it, that the Broaddus family would never live their new home.
