SOLVED: Sal Mineo 2

By the mid-1970s, Sal Mineo's Oscar-nominated Hollywood career had collapsed. He was broke, deeply in debt, and sleeping in a rented apartment with rented furniture. But a sold-out stage run in San Francisco had the critics raving again, and a deal to direct his first feature film was finally coming together. On the night of February 12th, 1976, Sal left rehearsal for the LA run of his comeback show, stopped for cupcakes and cigarettes, and pulled into his usual parking spot. He never made it to his front door. In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows Sal's fall from teen idol to forgotten star, the brutal stabbing that ended his life at 37, and an investigation derailed by tabloid speculation before the truth finally surfaced.
