Episode notes

The chapter explores the aftermath of a crime that shook a family, revealing discrepancies in the original testimonies and sparking disbelief among loved ones. Trust in a key figure is tested as doubts linger within the community and law enforcement connections are questioned. Personal narratives shed light on the impact of the tragic event, while investigations uncover errors and negligence that led to a civil trial and compensation for the wrongfully accused individuals.

In 1989, three people confessed to participating in a murder. Eventually, a total of six people were arrested. But when DNA tests were run on crime scene evidence almost 20 years later - the results showed that none of them had been there at all.
