The Wesson Family Massacre is the biggest mass murder in the history of Fresno, California; it happened on March 12, 2004. Marcus Wesson murdered nine family member, all are his daughters. But it was not just murder of nine children, it is a story of child abuse and sexual molestation of children done by their their own father. Wesson sexually abused not only his daughters but also his nieces. Wesson didn't work and attended church meetings almost nightly. He was quoted saying:"give your heart to God and he'll provide."

Here is the description of the Wesson Family Massacre on the afternoon of March 12, 2004 (this is taken from Trutv.com:

If he needed any more proof that something was sickeningly wrong, Escareno, 33, got it when he noticed the caskets stacked against a wall in the living room. He continued to call out for the children, telling them it was safe now, to come out. As he moved down the back hallway, his colleagues searched the rooms behind him.

The closed door opened to darkness. Holding his gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other, Escareno panned the weak beam across the room and saw an indistinct mass on the floor. Feeling along the wall, he found a switch and flipped on the overhead lights.

It looked like a scene from a slasher movie. There was a pile of bodies on the floor, babies, kids, young women. Nine total. Blood pooled around them on the ground. The bodies were still warm, and Escareno yelled for an ambulance, then started grabbing wrists, searching for the pulse of life. He found none. He howled in angry impotence at this slaughter of innocents, and his colleagues rushed to pull him from the room.

Marcus Wesson has been convicted of the gruesome crime and is now on death row.
