Earl Bramblett had spent more than a year planning the crime... even as he

the Hodges would one day be wiped out in a drug hit, State Police Special Agent
Barry Kessee spent two years unraveling the case- -building a mountain of
circumstantial evidence against Bramblett that ultimately did him in.

Bramblett and told him to "burn in hell."
