John Bartlett - An Atlanta Police Officer Benjamin West - A photojournalist Vivian Morehouse - Ex-Wife of Darrin Morehouse Laura Sellars - Criminal Attorney Nathan Hughes - Judge Michael Coombes - District Attorney Francis Chalmers - Prison Warden Philip Jason Hall - Probate Attorney
" Lock this place down ," he ordered the guards . No calls in or out without my written permission . I want this cell searched top to bottom then sanitized . Cover all the basis , but do it with as few people as possible . The less who know about this the better we ' ll be able to contain the fallout ."
This was Warden Chalmers ' reaction after the body of Darrin Morehouse was found hanging in his cell . It appeared to be suicide , all the way down his note and 8 letters he left behind . So what do the 8 people above have in common ? Well , 7 of them are listed in the dead man ' s will . Each one had a hand in his conviction with the exception of Philip Hall who would be the one to carry out his will .
Why would a criminal like Morehouse want to list those who put him away in his will . Will he ' award ' them with money gained by his criminal activities ? Or has he found a way to punish them after his death , maybe with some dirt he dug up on them . John Bartlett and Benjamin West seemed to know him best and they didn ' t believe he was up to anything good . They knew he LOVED to play games and this could only be one he dreamed up to torture all of them .
