Ron Farmer, a four-year veteran of the rural Hobbs County Sheriff’s Department, had a rather normal life without much excitement, until he made a traffic stop on the Friday of Halloween eve. The traditional Halloween festivities were no match for what was set in motion. No ghouls or goblins in this story, but the events that transpire involving two escaped convicts, a family of four, two migrant workers, Ron and his daughter Laura, are far more, sinister, terrifying, and real, than any ghouls and goblins story.
