The Murder of Nelson Jones
Manage episode 435022696 series 3571346
A little boy begs his family to stay home alone for the first time ever. His tiny midwestern town was nearly free of crime, with the last reported homicide being in 1928. But in the fall of 1990 that would change. After a day of playing with friends and riding his bike around town, Nelson would be murdered in his own home just before his family arrived home. Nearly 34 years later, his family and his small community deeply want answers and someone to be held accountable for this horrific crime.
