December 24th, 1992, Dayton, Ohio. Folks are enjoying the last days before Christmas. Families have gathered, children are keeping an eye out for Santa Claus, but something more sinister is afoot. Bored and looking for something to do, four teens and young adults decided they needed drama in their lives. So they went on a killing spree that lasted two days, murdering six in cold blood. Just because. This is the story of The Dayton Downtown Posse. Hunting for the Holidays.
