Juvenile court records confirm that on Halloween night in 1963, six year old Michael Audrey Myers brutally murdered his 17-year-old sister, Judith. For his heinous crime, Michael was sentenced to the Smith's Grove-Warren County Sanitarium in Illinois where he remained tightly monitored and under lock-and-key. Police reports confirm that Fifteen years later, on October 30, 1978, the night before he was to attend a court date, 21-year-old Myers escaped by stealing a car which was subsequently located abandoned in his hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois.

Information uncovered through the release of sealed documents leads investigators to the conclusion that Myers had returned to Haddonfield in order to kill then seventeen-year-old Laurie Strode. Though Strode's later accounts include feelings of uneasiness upon sighting a strange man, later identified as Myers, there was no way that the shy and unassuming teenager could have foreseen the bloody aftermath of October 31, 1978.
