About this episode

The episode discusses the tragic events surrounding the Swartz family and the subsequent investigation that impacted a community.

On the morning of January 17th, 1984, a 17-year-old boy picked up the phone and called 911. He said his parents were dead. The investigation that followed would divide a close-knit community, force a prosecutor to question his own instincts, and cause the detectives working the case to go home at night and look at their own children differently.
