The story of 8th Dimension goes briefly viral and from various news reports you all lean:
1. It is believed 8th Dimension had learned of Montgomery's recent death and planned to film a video there in which they would explore the house, have a few encounters, and eventually the entire thing would culminate with them entering the bedroom and discovering the body of Montgomery.
2. It is believed they hired several extras into joining them, including the town sheriff.
3. During filming there was an accident which led to the fire
4. Distraught, they attempted to hurriedly rewrite parts of their script, this involved doing two pickup shots with the sheriff. During one of these there was an accident which injured the sheriff so the group went back to town to the hotel to rest and reassess their situation and plans. The sheriff is thought to have then joined them and they decided to shoot the bathroom scene in the bathroom of the motel. While testing/brainstorming ideas their hanging rig broke and the sheriff died.
***Another account though seems to suggest they moved the body of the sheriff to the motel from the house after the rigging harness failed.***
5. The two members have pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter and misdemeanor arson among other charges. There has been nothing about sentencing so far.
6. Authorities are not sure where their 3rd member is, there seems to be some doubt if he was with them.
7. Fans are shocked and some are defending the group with conspiracy level suspicions and plots against them. This starts making the slightly different emerging accounts get pretty muddy. Numerous youtube channels are popping out reaction and update videos. MindFi managed to grab a lion's share of publicity contacting press agencies supposedly with inside information about the group and they get mentioned in multiple articles.
8. Youtube has taken down their channel
