Cristie Schoen Codd was an actress, a stunt performer and a movie set caterer. Her husband, JT Codd, was a key grip on a variety of TV shows and films. When the two decided to move from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood to the quiet mountain town of Leicester, NC, they never expected the horrors that awaited them in their serene new surroundings.
