Trust Gone Wrong: Thrill Killers Spader and Gribble

The case of Steven Spader and Christopher Gribble centers on the 2009 murder of Kimberly Cates and attempted murder of her daughter Jaimie Cates in Mont Vernon, New Hampshire.

On October 4, 2009, Spader, Gribble, and two other teenagers broke into the Cates home during a planned burglary. Kimberly Cates was fatally attacked, and her 11-year-old daughter, Jaimie, was critically injured but survived after calling 911. Evidence presented in court established that the group had discussed committing violent crimes prior to the attack, and the incident was part of a series of planned burglaries that escalated.
