In this week’s case, we have two stories of what happened, and the old adage that the truth lies somewhere in the middle falls short when these two stories don’t have any middle ground. In the end, the question for the jury would be was this a thrill kill… or self defense?

After a murder in a Kansas suburb went cold, people accused a local church of covering up the truth. But no cover up was good enough for a cold case team review.
