December 25th: Harry and Harriette Moore Killed (1951)

Show notes

December 24th: Robert LeCompte Killed (2009)

A red herring can completely throw off a case. On December 24th 2009 a man was brutally slain in a place where, up until that moment, he felt safe and welcome. A case where, with one small clue, the motive was muddled into something totally different.
