Template:QOTW - Quillsville Cold Case/Part 1

In August of 2002, the Willis family was finishing up their summer vacation at the Quillsville Pool with with the families of Ava Willis and her brother, Albert Willis, who had just got out of an abusive relationship after Albert divorced his estranged wife, Julie Crawford Willis, and about to come to terms over Ava's gender transition from male to female that was completed by Melissa Rose on nearly three years earlier on November 1, 1999 after medicailly transitioning for three years and socially transitioning for seven years.

Albert was a stressed, unemployed automobile mechanic. The whole family depended on the salary of his wife, Emily, who was practically a lone parent to their children, Kim and Stewart. One fine morning their neighbor, Mr. Reed, entering their home as usual to give Kim and Stewart a lift to school, found them all dead on the floor, with the exception of Kim who soon went into coma because of a severe gun wound on her head. The pool with which Albert drowned was immediately closed, so the police suspected Ava Willis of beating her dog Rags and initially ruled Albert's death an accident until Tiffani, who had just joined the Quillsville Police Department reopened the case.
