person died in the flames or smoke. So the question becomes what killed them, and more importantly, who for something like this to happen in the town where everybody leaves their doors, you know, unlocked, where everybody kind of knows each other. People are still they still talk about it. I'm m William Phelps, an investigative journalist in New York Times best selling true crime author.

enforcement tapes, no one has ever heard that. Joe thinks you ever hard, that you do well, she said, I to family, This investigation took me to places I never saw coming. I mean she was shooting, pulled on you and just shoot you. She did not even need to think about it. How the mob works say, don't believe anybody. They're gonna set an example.
