Jedidiah, and Seth.Around noon on November 29th, the already tense family relationships were strained to the breaking point when Seth and his father had yet another fight.

Steve left the house around 12:45 to pick up his father, John, to bring him back to their home for Thanksgiving dinner and Linda decided to take a quick shower.

While the aromas of Thanksgiving dinner filled the house, Seth loaded his dad’s .22 caliber Ruger.Join Cam and Jen as they discuss 'Massacre in Muskegon: The Privacky Family Murders.'Written and researched by Lauretta AllenListener Discretion by Edward October from OctoberpodVHS)Executive Producer Nico Vitesse of The Inky Paw Print)Sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muskegon,_Michigan)https://www.google.com/maps/place/Muskegon,+MI/@43.2606111,-86.3913292,11z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x88197cc3a93d9ed9:0x247e359134f72540!8m2!3d43.2341813!4d-86.2483921!16zL20vMHZmczg?entry=ttu)https://www.michigan.org/city/muskegon)https://www.newspapers.com/image/481046064/?terms=Seth%20Privacky&match=1)https://www.newspapers.com/image/512122262/?terms=Seth%20Privacky&match=1)https://www.newspapers.com/image/204917423/?terms=Seth%20Privacky&match=1)https://www.newspapers.com/image/209378302/?terms=Seth%20Privacky&match=1)https://www.newspapers.com/image/442308058/?terms=Seth%20Privacky&match=1)https://www.newspapers.com/image/735981881/?terms=Seth%20Privacky&match=1)https://www.newspapers.com/image/204088750/?terms=April%20Boss%20&match=1) (April's mother)https://www.newspapers.com/image/212458485/?terms=April%20Boss%20&match=1) (911 call)https://www.newspapers.com/image/100198969/?terms=April%20Boss%20&match=1) (info on April)https://www.newspapers.com/image/555089012/?terms=April%20Boss%20&match=1)https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/153131553/april-anne-boss)https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/186700837/jedediah-j-privacky)https://www.newspapers.com/image/204088558/?terms=April%20Boss%20&match=1)https://murderpedia.org/male.P/p/privacky-seth.htm)https://murderpedia.org/male.P/p/privacky-seth-photos.htm)https://www.newspapers.com/image/100198742/?terms=Privacky) (Jana Simonelli)https://www.newspapers.com/image/204592113/terms=Steve%20Wallace%20Privacky&match=1)https://www.newspapers.com/image/212475480/terms=Steve%20Wallace%20Privacky&match=1)https://www.newspapers.com/image/366865136/terms=Steve%20Wallace%20Privacky&match=1)https://www.newspapers.com/image/204892408/terms=Steve%20Wallace%20Privacky&match=1) (break-in)https://www.newspapers.com/image/204607882/terms=Steve%20Wallace%20Privacky&match=1)https://www.newspapers.com/image/366851608/terms=Steven%20Wallace&match=1)https://www.newspapers.com/image/362636328/terms=Steven%20Wallace&match=1)https://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/2008/11/a_timeline_of_the_privacky_mur.html)https://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/2008/11/steven_wallace.html)https://obits.mlive.com/us/obituaries/muskegon/name/steven-wallace-obituary?id=20735680)
