On the morning of March 16, 2009, a Raytown, Missouri, apartment became the scene of a quadruple slaying. Ten-year-old Amir Rashard Clemons and his 7-year-old brother, Gerard Clemons Jr., were found next to each other on the floor of a ransacked bedroom; their aunt, 21-year-old Precious Triplett, and her 33-year-old boyfriend, Andre Jones Sr., were also dead. Amir had been shot and stabbed more than 40 times; Gerard suffered 131 stab wounds, including defensive wounds that indicate he fought back.

Prosecutors identified 26-year-old Gevante Anderson, the former boyfriend of Triplett, as the attacker. A jury convicted Anderson on four counts of first-degree murder and related charges after a brief deliberation. In May 2011, a Jackson County circuit judge imposed consecutive life terms with no possibility of parole, plus additional life and term sentences for armed criminal action and burglary.

Did anyone who knew the victims or lived near that apartment notice anything unusual in the days before March 16, 2009?
