Murder at Loose Chippings: Derek & Nancy Hasom

April 3, 1985 rocked the upper-middle class community of Boonsboro, Virginia when a couple was found brutally butchered in their home. Investigators were at a standstill until a rental car agreement broke the case wide open. What followed, is a twisted tale of two fugitives living under false identities, committing check fraud, and ultimately turning on each other.
