Summary
In today's episode, we're traveling to a quiet corner of southern Illinois in 1987, where the Dardeen family was building a life filled with ordinary hopes and everyday routines until, without warning, those dreams came to a horrifying end. What investigators discovered remains one of the most disturbing crime scenes in American history. Despite decades of investigation, the person responsible has never been identified.
