## Resource

In 1979, Johnny Pius was brutally murdered in Smithtown, New York. Four teenage boys were convicted of killing him because he had allegedly seen them stealing a minibike. But is this what really happened to Johnny? We discuss how Johnny’s case is tied to the Long Island Serial Killer investigation…and how years of corruption might mean that Johnny’s murder is still unsolved.
