Send us a text On a warm summer's night in January 1970, two lovers were brutally killed as they parked at a beach in Newcastle, Australia. At the time police came up with two motives for the murders. Was this crime committed by a sexual deviant, prowling the beach that night for a likely victim? Or was it personal, and a crime born of jealousy and resentment? The case remains unsolved and in the years that followed, there were no similar crimes that pointed to a serial killer. The murders of...

Send us a text On Halloween morning in 1981, a Roman Catholic nun was brutally raped and murdered in her Northern Amarillo convent. The investigation that was to follow would lead to the highly questionable arrest of an intellectually disabled 17-year-old boy. His trial would raise more questions than answers and would shine a spotlight on a flawed judicial system. This case not only poses the question of guilt or innocence but also asks the question of whether mentally ill prisoners sh...
