The Family Murders (Part Two: The Family)

As the families of five young men mourned, investigators began to circle around their top suspect, Bevan Spencer von Einem.

In the decades since, though, the other four crimes have gone non-prosecuted. Many believe that von Einem did not act alone in the murder that he was convicted of, and may have had help from some of the area's rich and powerful: individuals that have come to be known as "The Family"...
