Download Failure of Justice: A Brutal Murder, an Obsessed Cop, Six Wrongful Convictions AudioBook Free
Everyone believed the same way: Small-town Nebraska widow Helen Wilson didn't own an ounce of meanness in her body. Then, on Feb 5, 1985, one of the coldest times on record, the unthinkable occurred. The 68-year-old resident was murdered inside her second-floor apartment. But why? Local residents were horrified. Which kind of monster would focus on a susceptible widow to fulfill his homicidal intimate fantasies? The offense landscape was eerily ritualistic. The path of evidence turned frustratingly frigid until an astonishing breakthrough happened four years later. A torn scrap of money retrieved at the offense landscape became the presumed smoking gun that helped solve the hideous offense. The news headlines of six arrests was absolutely stunning to the local people in this easygoing blue-collar community of 12,000 residents. But why were six loosely connected misfits who lived as a long way away as Alabama, Colorado, and NEW YORK being from the rape and murder of the favorite Nebraska widow? As they sat in prison, the constant threat of Nebraska's barbaric electric couch frightened these stressed souls, except for one of these.
