Jerk, you got it, I want the patient to be burned to you.

On July 5th, 2018, Scott Ferris called 911 to report something unsettling.

My father has come up with him.

Gary Ferris, the beloved family patriarch known as Big Daddy, hadn't been seen in two

days. Something's really off here, so that's when we decided to start searching the property.

Scott, along with his siblings and mother, looked everywhere, and that's when they came

upon something horrifying. Look, there's human remains down there. I was like, stay away from there. After detectives arrived at the scene, they made an even more chilling discovery. There's a bullet found lodging a ribbonne, it's a homicide, absolutely.

The detective discovered Gary had been shot, but by whom, and why?

From the outside, the Tenaker Ferris family farm looked like the kind of place anyone would be happy to call home. But on the inside, the reality was much different. I would don't see how anyone can look at this story and think they were happy. And every member of the Ferris family suddenly looked like a potential suspect.

"This is horrible to have to put on all the secret found on the table."

Secrets involving money, around 4.5 million, in fidelity.

"She was the one having the other Ferris, not him." And jealousy.

"I think a lot of things that have happened in our family gets swept under the rug."

Much like an actual Ferris wheel, the blame game went round and round. "You just told me, then he thinks my mother shouldn't poison him." "You kill your daddy, you set your mother up, she goes to prison, you get everything." "I absolutely had nothing to do with my father's death." "I'm Peter Vansett, from 48 hours, this is Blood Is Thicker, the Ferris wheel."

"But it has been called the Ferris wheel. And it was, but it was, our Ferris wheel. It was our life." Blood Is Thicker, the Ferris wheel, is coming soon to a podcast app near you.
