Late January 2018 in rural Wayne County, Missouri, 17-month-old Willa Fontaine Million was killed after a violent attack that also claimed her parents. When the couple refused, Atchison allegedly attacked them with a knife, fatally slashing both of their throats inside the residence.

After killing the parents, the account says Atchison put their bodies in the bed of the family pickup truck but left Willa alive and locked in a room overnight. He returned the next morning, removed the toddler, and drove the truck to a wooded property in neighboring Butler County near Poplar Bluff. There, Willa was reportedly shot in the back of the head; her body and the parents bodies were concealed in the woods and discovered on January 29, 2018, after relatives reported the family missing.

Investigators identified Atchison as the suspect and took him into custody; he confessed to the killings and was charged with three counts of first-degree murder, child kidnapping, and armed criminal action. Does anyone have information about the family, the property near Poplar Bluff, or that January 2018 timeline that could shed more light on what happened?
