On October 25th, 2018, staff at the California Men’s Colony Prison in San Luis Obispo noticed their beloved co-worker 64-year-old Athena Valentiny had not arrived at work.  This absence prompted a wellness check, as was their standard procedure.  But it was when two security guards tasked with checking up on Athena noticed her car was still parked in front of her home that they began to worry.  To make matters worse, they noticed what appeared to be blood on her window shades.  With Athena’s well being put into question, Grover Beach Police were dispatched and, to their horror, they found Athena viciously stabbed to death in her bedroom.  As for who was responsible, there was a laundry list of potential suspects.  But after some digging, investigators narrowed it down to one person, and with this discovery was a story, and a road trip, almost too far-fetched to be real.
