In March of 1992, a vicious murder in one of Fort Worth’s richest neighborhoods shook the community. Businessman and former banker Jack Koslow, along with his wife, former banker and patron of the arts Caren Koslow, were viciously attacked in their home in the middle of the night. Caren died from her injuries, but thankfully Jack survived. However, strange details at the crime scene led detectives to become suspicious of the lone survivor.
