New season coming May 6, 2025
A frantic 911 call on a quiet April afternoon in 1997 sends Miramar police rushing to a suburban home, where they uncover a scene of pure horror. Inside, two young sisters, just six weeks old and two years old, have been brutally beaten to death. Nearby, their mother and grandmother lie in pools of blood, shot and bludgeoned in a massacre that defies comprehension. Scrawled on the wall near the victims, a cryptic message about drug money suggests a home invasion gone wrong. But as detectives dig deeper, they uncover troubling contradictions and a chilling possibility: this wasn’t random — it was personal. Soon, a prime suspect emerges. But there’s a problem: he has an alibi that has kept this heartbreaking case unsolved for nearly three decades.
