The Girl No One Believed: The Sleepover Slayer Murder | The Case of Brooke Sutton & Clarence Elkins | UNSEEN

https://shopify.com/unseen - "I took the butt and put it into my bible" - On June 7th, 1998 at 6:50am, a little girl, badly injured and covered in blood, knocks frantically on her neighbor’s door in Barberton, Ohio. 6-year-old Brooke Sutton has just found her grandmother, Judith, dead on the living room floor, and even more chillingly, she saw the man who did it. Within hours, cops pin the crime on Brooke’s uncle, Clarence Elkins, and—despite his airtight alibi—he’s sentenced to life in prison for the crime. But, with an innocent man in prison, the real killer is getting away. It’s now up to Melinda Elkins, Clarence’s wife and Judith’s daughter, to go up against the prosecutors, police, and even her own family to help Brooke find the truth and prove Clarence’s innocence, once and for all. - Writer, director & editor: Alexandre Gendron Researcher: Amanda Hein Voiceover: Will Akana Producer: Salim Sader Assistant editor: Hannah Alicbusan Distribution coordinator: Kat Gardilcic - Getty Images “Conviction: The True Story of Clarence Elkins”: Kurtis Productions, 2008. “What the Girl Saw” American Justice: A&E Networks, 2003. “All Butt Certain” Forensic Files: Content Partners, LLC, 2008. “Never a Doubt” Murder She Solved: True Crime: Force Four Entertainment, 2013. “Star Witness” 48 Hours: CBS News, 2003. “Friends and Neighbors” Cold Blood: ITV Studios, 2009. “Shadow of Doubt” I Didn’t Do It: Lively Crime 2 Inc. for Crime & Investigation Network, 2012. “Melinda Elkins” I Solved a Murder: A&E Television Networks, 2013 “Wrongly convicted man snags inmate's cigarette butt to clear his name” True Crime News, 2019. “6 Year Old Daughter Solves The Grandma's Horrifying Murder” M7 Crime Storytime, 2025. “Clarence Elkins undergoes PTSD procedure” FOX 8 News Cleveland, 2017. “Decades-old secret adoptions solved by modern DNA for Akron area families” WKYC Studios, 2018. “Georgia’s “Hicks Babies” adoptees search for answers” CBS News, 2014. “The Maury Povich Show” NBC Universal Syndication Studios, 1998.
