On halloween night in1974, 8 yr old Timothy O’Bryan is out trick or treating with his father, his sister, and 3 other children one of them being the O’Bryan’s neighbor kid and his father Jim Bates who was a friend of Ronald O’Bryan’s, in one of the Pasadena neighborhoods in TX.

Ronald O’Bryan allows the kids to have 1 piece of candy before going to bed. Timothy choses his pixy stick that was received by the mysterious house with no lights, while his sister chooses another piece of candy.  Timothy went to eat the pixy stix and complained about the bitterness taste that came from it. His father gave him a glass of cool aide to help wash away the bitter after taste. 

It was almost immediately after that Timothy complained that his stomach was hurting and began vomiting and convulsing as he got to the bathroom. Ronald O’Bryan held is son in comfort and would call 911. Timothy would die enroute to the hospital less than hour after experiencing symptoms. So what killed young Timothy? A mystery that the investigation  would soon unravel.
