Description

A brutal double homicide that spiraled into betrayal, confessions, and an international manhunt.

In the mid-1980s, a well-to-do couple were found savagely murdered inside their quiet Virginia home. Both had been stabbed dozens of times in what investigators described as one of the most vicious crimes the region had ever seen. Their daughter quickly became central to the investigation, along with her boyfriend, a foreign exchange student.

What began as a shocking double homicide soon spiraled into an international case involving confessions, retractions, claims of innocence, and decades of legal battles. The murders remain among the most infamous in Virginia’s history, raising ongoing questions about guilt, responsibility, and the justice system. 

This episode examines the crime scene, the investigation, and the tangled story of two young lovers whose lives became forever linked to the brutal deaths of her parents.
