Blood is Thicker: The Farris WheelAuthor: CBS News
When the charred remains of prominent commercial real estate attorney Gary Farris were discovered on a burn pile with a bullet lodged in a rib bone, detectives knew they were facing a homicide investigation. The crime scene was a sprawling 10-acre property in Cherokee County, Georgia, where Gary Farris lived with his wife, Melody, and their son, Scott. Gary Farris seemed to be a loving husband and father, affectionately called Big Daddy. Yet, all signs seemed to suggest that one of Gary Farris own family members was responsible for his murder. It turns out this family had a lot of secrets involving money and infidelity. Much like an actual Ferris wheel, the blame game went round and round.
