In this episode of Super SUS, we cover the murders of Sheri Coleman and her sons, Garett and Gavin - a family living in the quiet St. Louis suburb of Columbia, Illinois.

Chris Coleman had what looked like the perfect life: a beautiful family, a prestigious job heading security for televangelist Joyce Meyer, and a home in one of the safest neighborhoods around. Then, starting in late 2008, threatening letters and emails began arriving - warnings that his family would be killed if he didn't comply with certain demands.

On the morning of May 5, 2009, those threats became a reality. Sheri and both boys were found strangled in their beds. Red spray-painted messages covered the walls.

But the more investigators dug, the more the story stopped making sense - and not in the way Chris Coleman wanted it to.

The evidence in this case is staggering. The timeline is damning. And the picture that emerges of who Chris Coleman really was will make your jaw drop.
