Most violent crimes that capture the public's imagination are about serial killers, mass shooters, crimes of passion, or clashes among underworld figures. Yet some of the most shocking and deadly conflicts we encounter are between everyday neighbors in ordinary neighborhoods. Their seemingly minor quibbles escalate until violence erupts and it impacts an entire community. What makes a good neighbor go bad? We may never truly know, but heed this warning about the terrible things that can happen when even the pettiest disagreements pass the point of no return and good neighbors become worst enemies. How can you sleep at night when the person you fear or hate the most lives right next door? We're in a beautiful mountainous region with fresh air, land to spare, and a generous help your neighbor spirit among the residents. It's where a growing young family settles into their new home beside a clan whose roots go back as far as any of them can remember. The two households hit it off great, and it's a wonderful relationship for all concerned. Until the death of a pet on one side and the ensuing blame game sour things irrevocably the two families find themselves spiraling into a vicious cycle of threats, intimidation, and vengeance that neither can seem to pull back from. This is fear thy neighbor. You kill mine, I kill yours. There's a picturesque area in the mountains of West Virginia that's tucked away from the outside world. Tranquil and still, it's the perfect landing spot for people seeking a strong sense of community away from city living. Here's prosecutor Dan James and Hampshire County Sheriff Nathan Sions to explain. Slanesville is a small community in Hampshire County. There's a lot of land back there. It's a relatively quiet part of our county. Neighbors tend to get along and help each other out when needed. And this is Blaze Voight, eldest child of the family at the heart of this story. You're pretty secluded from everyone else, and for the most part, it's pretty peaceful. Blaze's father, Chris, is a mechanic, while their mother, Jamie, is a health care worker. They've just added another member to their family and consider themselves lucky to have found a house on Whippoorwill Song Lane. Here's Jamie Voigt. Chris and I already had Blaze and Kendall had just been born, and we decided that we wanted a bigger home and we wanted to be out in the country. I'll give you a hand. One second. Hey, don't even worry about it. You take care of the little one. The best part about moving down there as a kid would be that we could go outside and do things and not worry about getting ran over by a car. A growing household means there's a lot of moving boxes to unpack. Fortunately, the Voights are about to get a helping hand. Oh, this one's awkward. It's not too heavy for me. Hey, we're your new neighbors. Hi. Nice to see you. Dan. This is Jenny Raymond. Hello. Daniel and Jennifer Atkins are long established on the quiet street where they're raising Jennifer's daughter Jasmine. Daniel's father, Raymond, has recently moved in with them. They were very friendly. Right after we moved in, they had come down and introduce themselves. Young teenager Blaze meets young teenager Jasmine and the Atkins family dog, Billy. Hi. Hello. I'm Blaze. I'm Jasmine. This is Billy. Is he okay with dogs? Oh, we love dogs. And dogs aren't the only animals on the Atkins sprawling property. Daniel and Jennifer had several animals, so they had Jennifer's dog. That was a very small breed, and they had goats. Do you want to come see our goats? You have goats? Yep. As the voids settle in, they quickly grow closer with the Atkins. Initially, things Went well between the neighbors. They had a very good relationship. They were friendly with each other. I would go and see Jennifer, and she would come down to the house. We were just friendly neighbors. I got steaks. Nice. Now we're talking. The kids got to know each other and start hanging out. We go outside, we'd run around. We'd play on the trampoline. We'd come inside, like, play with Lincoln Logs. And it's your typical kid stuff. And when tragedy strikes, like any good neighbors, the families show up to support one another. In particular, one shocking incident involving the Atkins family dog sees the Voight family come running to the rescue. Daniel was outside mowing, weed, eating, like, he was going up around the fence line there at the property and was trying to weed eat some bigger stuff. The dog had got close. He didn't see it. Hey, can you give me a hand with this? He hit the dog with the weed eater. Go get a towel, Billy. It's okay, honey. It's okay. It's gonna be fine. Jas, what happened? He just came running in from behind. I just turned and. You have to take him to the vet now. I know, I know. Okay, I'll watch the kids. You, you focus on the dog. Thanks. I think he's gonna be okay, but it's gonna be expensive. Don't you worry about that. We've got you covered. Nice. We offered to let him borrow the money for the dog. We were very much animal lovers. They needed, like, $1,200 because of the bill. In exchange, the Atkins offer. An interesting trade. So in return, Daniel had brought two of his guns over for Chris to hold as collateral until he paid Chris and myself back for the money that we had loaned him. It takes a while for Billy to make a full recovery. Meanwhile, the Voights get their own canine companion, a Labrador retriever. Maxine was her name, but we called her Maxi. Chris pretty much took that dog everywhere with him. Although it was Blaze's dog, anytime Chris went anywhere, Maxine went with him. Being a puppy, Maxie has a lot of energy and not much respect for property lines. Maxi, come. Maxie, come back. Maxie did kind of take free range of the neighborhood. There was no fence on our property, so she had free range to go. Blaze Voight tells us Daniel's father, the Atkins family patriarch Raymond, isn't impressed by Maxi's constant trespassing. Hey, hey. Keep an eye on your dog. Maxi, come back. They would complain that the dog had been up on their property. In particular, Maxi shows intense interest towards Raymond's. Goats. Hey, get away from them. She's young. She's little. Well, it doesn't matter to the goats. I don't really understand why they had an issue with it, because it wasn't like the dog was aggressive. But according to Jamie Voight, Raymond doesn't see Maxie in that light. He sees the dog as a threat to his beloved goats. Ray stated that they were taunting the goats and stuff, and he didn't want them up there. Get away from him. Get. It's okay. It's okay. I got her. I got her. And it's not just Maxie that's allowed to roam free. So the goats would also wander down to us and eat grass and stuff and be along the side of the property. They weren't always confined right at his house, either. Keep her away from the other Ray. Take it easy. We don't complain when your animals come over to our side. So it didn't really make sense for them to complain about our dog. She'll learn. She's still a pup. Well, she better take it easy. Dad. I'm sorry about dad. He's. He likes his goats. It's okay. We'll try to rein her in. Chris said, well, I'll do my best, you know, to keep him down here. But dogs are like any other animal. They will roam. We tried to keep Maxie down on our own property and tried to keep her from wondering as much as we could. Soon enough, the Atkins family is able to make good with the Voights on their debt, and Chris returns Daniel's guns. All the while, the Voights try to contain Maxie, who seems dead set on spending the days and nights outside roaming free. Dogs will be dogs. And late one night, Maxie seems particularly worked up. Her barking gets so loud, it wakes Jennifer and Daniel. What now? Can't the teacher just stop barking in the middle of the night? Okay, just go back to sleep. The next morning, the Atkins are in for horrible surprise. Daddy. One of their goats is dead, and the Atkins think they know who it is to blame. You said you'd control that dog. After Daniel found the goat, he came down to our house to confront my father about it. What's going on? Your dog killed one of our goats. That's impossible. Oh, what? The other goats ganged up on it and killed it, but Maxie would never. My dad told me something like this would happen, man. He just came straight up. And he was going off saying that Maxie killed one of the goats and he wasn't going to tolerate it. Now listen here. You know what? I'm done. Keep that dog away from our goats. While the Atkins are sure Maxie is to blame, the Voight family isn't so certain. Hey, Max, you could never hop the fence of that pen. It's a dog. It can jump. Not that high. Come on, man. At the time, I was probably 4 foot 5 and the fence was taller than me. So it's kind of hard to imagine the dog jumping over the fence and attacking one of the goats. Here's prosecutor Dan James to explain how the conflict becomes intractable. So the arguments went back and forth, mainly Christopher saying, there's no way that my dog did this. Do you have any proof? Proof? I know it was her. And he never brought us any actual proof of the dog being in the fence or killing the goats. But that doesn't stop Raymond from blaming the Voights and fostering hostility towards them. And soon a series of events will kick off that will forever alter the way the families interact with Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile with a message for everyone. Paying Big Wireless way too much.

When Raymond chimes in, Chris alleges he crosses a line that ends the friendship between the two households. Okay, that's enough. I gotta make this real simple. If that dog comes near my animals again, I guess that's the start of the feud. After Daniel had come down and confronted us about the dog killing the goat, we pretty much didn't speak to each other anymore. The Atkins can't forgive the Voights for the death of their goat, and the Voights are concerned that Raymond might harm their dog Maxi. But with the freeze between families, it's the kids that suffer the most. Jasmine didn't come down anymore, so we weren't able to go outside and like, hang out, play, or do anything. It sucked that I wasn't able to go and have that friend to play with. Losing a close friendship makes the chilly autumn feel even colder and dampens the spirit of the Thanksgiving season. In the early hours of the holiday morning, a freak snowstorm hammers the region. There was a significant snowfall in the late month of November. There was 6 or 8 inches of snow on the ground. Jennifer Atkins sends her husband Daniel out to deal with the deluge. You have to shovel the driveway. Yeah. Yeah. While morning comes too soon for some in the void house, Thanksgiving morning I wake up and I go over to my parents room. Are you guys awake? No. Yes. I'll let Maxi out. We'll be out in a bit. Okay. And start the coffee maker. All right. They told me to let the dog out. So I go and I let the dog outside, and then I go back to my room to sit down and play some video games. And it wasn't long after that we heard the gunshot. Sounded like a cannon. So it had to have been a really big gun because it brought us out of our seats. So I immediately opened up the window, started screaming for Maxine. Maxie, Maxie, come. But Maxi doesn't answer. We get up, we go outside, we're hollering for the dog. Maxi, come. Come on, girl. Maxie. Now the dog does not come back. The search for Maxi is fruitless and turns ugly when Chris happens upon Raymond and Daniel Atkins. They were shoveling snow or doing something outside. Both Daniel and Ray. Chris confronted him. What are you doing? What does it look like? Chris can't help but get a sense that something st sinister might be going on. They claimed that it was awkward to them about the way that they were shoveling snow. It didn't look like they were moving the snow from the driveway, but maybe covering something up. You bastard. You did it, didn't you? Did what? You shot our dog. And eventually, well, Chris ended up accusing Raymond of killing their dog. And now you're covering up the blood. He felt they were shoveling their snow, I guess to try to hide where the dog had bled out in the driveway. Now hold on, Chris. You shot my dog. You killed her. Nobody killed your dog. Of course they said they didn't shoot the dog. Why don't you let me take a look around then, huh? All he wanted was the truth. Just tell me the truth of what you done. That's all I want to know. Why don't you go back to your own property, Christopher? Oh, come on, Ray. What are you hiding back there, huh? Go on, Chris. But there was no way of proving anything because there was snow on the ground. Fine. But if you think I'm gonna let you get away with this, he did become very angered over it. Chris had a pretty big temper and he had got to the point where he was a no bullshit man anymore. And he wasn't tolerating anybody's. Are you threatening me? You'll pay for this. That kind of led to this vicious cycle between The Voigts and Mr. Atkins. Hampshire county sheriff Nathan Sions agrees with Dan James assessment. What really escalated the dispute was the Voights believing that their dog had been shot. And sadly, it starts to look like the Voigtz may never get closure about what happened to Maxi. To my knowledge, there was no priority or I don't know that the dog was ever found. Jamie and Blaze are grief stricken over the loss of their beloved Maxi, while Chris is furious. It was very heartbreaking because although she was probably £100, she was nothing more than a big lap dog. She was a very loving dog. It broke my heart a little bit to not have the dog anymore. That's part of the. Of what angered my father so much about it. You know, the voice believing that the dog was shot did really upset Chris and he was wanting answers. He was very upset about that. And had trouble letting it go. I can't imagine an extension of your family, your dog, you believing that your neighbor killed that dog. I'm sure that would make a very unpleasant situation for anyone to be a neighbor with somebody. Chris now seizes every opportunity to lash out at his neighbors. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Take it easy, Chris. Kids play around here, you know, Every time we would drive by, they would also tell us to slow down. Your whole family's scum. Worthless scum. My dad would flip him the finger and holler at them and call them names back. Is he still upset about that dog? He won't let it go. The loss of their pet is about to sting the Voights even more. Not long after Maxie's mysterious disappearance, the Atkins dog, Billy, sires a litter of puppies. For Chris, seeing the adorable creatures is like rubbing salt in the wound. Hey, Ray, how long before you shoot those things, you sicko? That's it. Let's go in the house. I don't think you ever want to argue with anybody that you live close to the voids. Need a distraction. And Chris has just the thing. It's time for some father son bonding. He told me that I had to learn how to drive. Truck ain't gonna drive itself. Really? You're gonna teach me? Yeah. Come on. For the most part. When I was first learning, we would stop at the end of Whippoorwill, which is where we lived. Up here. Go left. But even as he teaches his son the rules of the road, Chris can't help but be reminded of what happened to Maxi during one of their lessons. Chris drives past the Atkins home and sees Raymond loading the puppies into his truck. He swerves toward them. That was close. Lesson's over. You monsters make me sick. When are you gonna own up to what you've done? Oh, go on, Chris. We didn't kill your dog. Raymond claimed that anytime that Chris would drive past his house, he would make his hand look like it was a firearm and point in his direction, Then pretend like he was shooting at him. Something was about to happen, and it's not long before Chris's simmering anger boils over. Wife Jamie and son Blaze recount the shocking incident. Chris and Blaze were going somewhere. There was always something they had to do. There was always something going on. I don't remember exactly where we were headed, but we were going back over the mountain. We were coming up on their driveway. Daddy's coming babies and the dogs are out in the road. And he just drops a gear and Hammers it. Flot a bunch of them over. No, stop. No, no, no. Psychopath. That's what you get. They said something along the lines of, that's for shooting my dog. I guess Ray was yelling or whatever, and Chris just flipped him off. Not only was there dust everywhere, but, you know, the dogs, I'm sure, were screaming. I cried over it a little bit because I felt bad for the dogs. And he kind of just said that it had to be done because of what they had done to us. When father and son return from their errand, Chris recounts his horrific actions to Jamie. Hey, sweetie. Chris, what's going on? I did what I had to do. He did tell me what he had done. It caught me off guard, and I was like, why would you even do that? And he said, well, they killed our dog, so I figured I'd kill theirs. And they know how it felt to lose something, so I guess it was revenge. Maybe now they'll understand what it's like to lose someone they love. I was really in shock, honestly, that he did it. It was the stupidest thing he could have done. Needless to say, the Atkins family is devastated by the horrific attack on their puppies. Are you okay, dad? No. No. I mean, first my goat and then my dogs. How does he find the nerve to call us murderers? Chris was just adding fuel to the fire. But I guess in Chris's eye, it was an eye for an eye. The Voights hope that Chris's terrible act will end the mayhem on Whippoorwill's Song Lane. There was never really any real sign of, like, that they were gonna do something extremely violent. It was just kind of a disagreement that got out of hand. But soon, a disintegrated marriage within the Atkins clan sees any hope for peace dashed. At this point, Daniel and Jennifer had separated, and Jennifer wasn't around anymore. Jennifer takes Jasmine with her. The Atkins men are on their own, and the bad blood between them and their neighbors is only going to get worse. Unfortunately, it just continued to escalate and escalate. Things reached a boiling point at that point in time. Hey, you know what would make your customer service help desk way better? Dumping it and then switching to intercom.

I mean, you can't find shoes this good just anywhere. Find a shoe for every you from brands you love like Birkenstock, Nike, Adidas and more at your DSW store or dsw.com on the evening of March 14, 2015, a chance encounter sets this conflict on a path to even greater violence. It begins when the Voights order takeout pizza. Chris and Blaze jump in the truck to go pick it up. Hampshire County Sheriff Nathan Sions reports Atkins he had saw Chris leave and supposedly Chris had flipped him the bird. Soon after, Raymond gets in his vehicle and drives a short distance before pulling over to the side of the road. Sheriff Nathan Sions and prosecutor Dan James explain what he was up to. Atkins went down along the roadway to watch for deer. Raymond said that he was sitting in the back of the truck. Meanwhile, with dinner now in hand, Blaze and Chris make the return trip home and encounter their neighbor spotting for wildlife. When Chris and his son came by, one thing led to another. He's parked about 100ft from the end of their driveway on the right side of the road. He waves us down with his arms. We stop to see what's going on what is it, old man? He immediately goes into, I know who killed your dog. I know what happened to Maxi. You don't know nothing, Ray. You're a murderer. That got under my dad's skin more than anything. Just listen to me, Chris. But Chris isn't having any of it. I've heard enough, Ray. You better shut your damn mouth if you know what's good for you. Come on, dad. Don't let him get to you. So they're going back and forth. You don't know nothing, Ray. And he tries to tell us that a white truck had driven by the day it happened and shot the dog and loaded it up in the back of the truck and drove away with it, which we knew couldn't be true. Somebody was driving too fast and I think they hit her and had to put her out of her misery. That never happened. As Blaze tells it, his father's anger at the loss of their beloved pet once again gets the better of him. He gets really mad and starts threatening him. And I grab onto him to keep him inside the vehicle. And I'm begging him not to get out at this point. And he didn't listen and he kind of like ripped my arm off of him. Enough of this crap. Chris goes on the offensive even though the firearms in Raymond's truck are clearly visible. He had a pistol sitting beside of him and a rifle. Chris saw Raymond with two firearms. You looking for a shootout, Ray? What do you think, tough guy? In a shocking move, Chris's response is to grab Raymond's handgun. But thankfully he doesn't shoot, picks up the pistol and wings it down into the woods. No guns. We settle this like men, dad. Neither one of them would back down at that point. Dad. The confrontation got very heated. Dad. Please, dad, just get back in the truck so we can go home. I can't believe you're calling me out after what you did to my dogs. After what I did? You caused this. And what about my goat? While his opponent may not be armed, Raymond can't help but feel threatened by Chris's rising anger. My dad's cussing him and pointing at him. We can end this right now. You come down off this truck and we'll settle this. According to Raymond, Chris came over the back of the truck and then Ray pulls the trigger. What did you do? Blaze looks on in horror as his father is struck and collapses to the ground. With no way to call for assistance, he is all on his own. I freak out a little and I kind of think of a plan on how I'm going to go and get some help. My father had taught me how to drive, so I immediately hopped over the center console and get in the driver's seat and throw it in. Drive. Meanwhile, back at the void house, Jamie is starting to get nervous. And I remember looking at the clock and seeing it was like 7:30. And I was like, he should have been here by now. Something just doesn't feel right. I went down to the house, then ran up the front porch and ran in the front door. Blaze comes running in the house. Mom. Rayshot. Dad. Blaze, don't be ridiculous. You got into an argument about the dogs and they were yelling, you have to do something. I'm hollering that, and we need help. And she didn't believe me at first. I kind of explained to her that I wasn't kidding. Mom, do you really think I'd lie about something like this? You have to go now. Go. Jamie leaves baby Kendall with Blaze, jumps in the truck and rushes to find Chris while calling 911. Hello? My husband's been shot. We're up on Whippoor Wolfsong Lane. My son was with him. I'm on my way now. When she arrives on the scene, Jamie is horrified to see the state of her husband. And the man responsible is nowhere to be seen. Ray wasn't there when I got there. Chris? No. The amount of blood, I knew that he was gone and there was nothing I could do. I was on the phone with. With 911 at the time, and I immediately hung up on them. They called back and I more or less told him he was gone, that I couldn't do anything. It's too late. I did attempt cpr, but I knew in the back of my mind he was already passed. Please send the police. So I sat there with Chris until the police arrived. Sheriff Nathan Sions is first on the scene. I got a call from dispatch that evening about a shooting that had happened. So I responded to the area. What happened here? Who did this? Our neighbor shot my husband. You have to find him. The bullet traveled through his forearm, exited the forearm and then entered his chest, struck his heart. Probably killed him immediately from where the wound was. A devastated Jamie returns home. While law enforcement searches for Raymond Atkins, they soon discover he's at his home. He was sitting inside his residence at that point in time. Taking no chances, authorities surround the residence and demand his surrender. So a lot of law was present. Everything was secured off because it was a shooting. They had to do their part to make sure everybody was safe before they could bring him out of the home. Officers apprehended him at that point. Now get on your knees. And Jamie is right there watching as her neighbor is hauled away for the murder of her husband. I remember when they walked Ray out. He walked Ray by the cruiser. I probably called him every name in the book. You're a monster. You're a stink murderer. How could you do this to him? How could you? Of course, the house was cleared and the weapon that was used in the shooting was found inside on his bed, actually. So do you want to tell me what happened tonight, Mr. Atkins? At that point, he just immediately started rambling and telling us what had happened. He told law enforcement, God is my witness. I shot him. I was on my truck looking for deer, and he come up on me and started up about the dogs and I shot him. And then at one point he asked if, is he dead? Is he gone? He died on scene. And he stopped and said a prayer. Father, forgive me. While he admits to the slaying, Raymond contends he had no other option. I swear it was either him or me. I never had a choice. He was reaching for my weapon. Prosecutor Dan James admits that given the history between the two neighbors, the shooter's story is compelling. Raymond Atkins wasn't in good health. He was, I believe, in his 60s at the time. Chris was 43 years old. He weighed about 100 pounds more than him. The statement was that Chris was coming over. The back of the truck can be perceived as threatening. A grand jury reviews the evidence to decide what felonies to lay against Raymond. He was charged with first degree murder and he was also charged with two counts of wanton endangerment. It was set for trial in July of 2016. However, there was some concern that the jury could return a not guilty verdict by making a fine in a self defense. Ultimately, what happened is we extended an offer to voluntary manslaughter, which would be 15 years in the penitentiary, as well as one count of brandishing the firearm, which was an additional year. And Raymond ended up pleading guilty to. So he had to serve a minimum of three and a half years. Shortly thereafter, serving the three and a half years that he was paroled out. I sat down with the family and they gave me their blessing to offer this plea. Had they not done that, I probably wouldn't have offered it. Kind of wish I would have tried this and let's see what the jury would have done with this case. I don't know where he is to this day, but he is no longer incarcerated. Strangely, Similar to the fate of Maxi, Raymond has seemingly disappeared since being released from prison. In a strange twist, even Raymond's own family doesn't know his current whereabouts. Despite the bad blood between the two households, Jamie Voight and Daniel Adkins are still neighbors. I stayed there in the home one after Chris had passed. I have my good days and my bad, so I'm not gonna say that when I'm in a vehicle, I don't go still flying by that driveway. I have my days where I can throw my hand up at Daniel and be social. And I have my days where I don't want to look him in the eye. And I'm just full of anger and I don't know if that'll ever go away. For the Voights, no punishment will ever be enough to make up for Chris death. We lost everything. Chris was my high school sweetheart. I got with Chris when I was 15, getting ready to turn 16. We were together 13 years before we were married. He was the father to all the kids. So Blaze got to know a piece of their dad. But Kennedy was only two and a half months old, so she has no memory of him. She has very few pictures of him holding her. They lost their whole entire world and the community lost an amazing man. He was extremely involved in the community and he meant well for everybody. He would help anyone and never really expected anything in return. A memorial was placed at Slanesville School in his honor so the kids would have somewhere else to go besides the graveyard to remember their dad. There's always going to be anger for what was taken and what my kids had to live without. This podcast is produced by Cream Productions in association with Fremantle Media and id.
