A Time To Kill is investigating the murders of Daniel “Dan” O’Connell and James Ellison, who were gunned down in the office of the funeral home where they worked in Hudson, Wisconsin.
The police suspect that the killer was a Catholic priest, Father Ryan Erickson. They believe that he shot dead the 39-year-old funeral director, O’Connell, because he may have had information that the priest had been involved in child sex abuse. They also believe that James Ellison, a 22-year-old student intern, was killed because he was a witness.
