Summary

On the afternoon of Christmas Eve 1991, 23-year-old Dana Ireland was brutally attacked while riding her bicycle on the Big Island of Hawaii. What followed was a decades-long saga of coerced confessions, jailhouse informants, and a staggering miscarriage of justice that sent innocent men to prison while the real killer walked free. This episode breaks down the tragic murder, the flawed investigation that convicted the Schweitzer brothers and Frank Pauline despite DNA exclusions, and the eventual 2024 discovery of the true suspect.
