Judgment day for the accused brings anger and sorrow for the Stocks. And one of the killers talks to Keith about the night of the murders.

Two new suspects tell police they were at the farmhouse when the Stocks were killed. 

Investigators find a key piece of evidence that sends the case in a surprising direction.

When Wayne and Sharmon Stock are found shot to death in their farmhouse, the investigation starts close to home.

A suspect emerges, along with a theory of the crime.

Keith Morrison takes us to a quiet farmhouse on America’s Great Plains, where Sharmon and Wayne Stock have just celebrated Easter with their big, loving family. That night, under a pale moon, the couple is shot to death in their bedroom.
