Nicholas Browning, a 15 year old from Maryland, committed a shocking crime in February 2008 when he killed his parents and two younger brothers in their family home. After committing the murders of his parents and two younger brothers, Nick tried to act as though he had nothing to do with the crime. To create an alibi, he left his family’s home and spent the night at a friend’s house, behaving as if it were an ordinary evening. The next morning, he continued to act casually, hanging out with friends and going about his day as usual. Later that day, he returned to his family’s house with his friends, where he "discovered" the bodies and pretended to be in shock.
