Prom Night Murders: “Justice or Wrongful Conviction?”丨MURDERISH Ep. 165

A small town Indiana minister is brutally murdered in his own home. His wife and young daughters lay lifeless in the basement. It’s the kind of crime that rocks an entire community and dampens their spirit forever. The horrific quadruple homicide happened in 1989, when DNA testing was in its infancy. Would investigators be able to lean on this new technology to catch the person who massacred an entire family? As time went on and the case went cold, the facts became blurred. Would Bob and Dawn Pelley, and their two young daughters Janel and Jolene, ever get justice for the tragedy that befell them?
