Episode description

On Christmas Eve, 1975 in Wintergarden Florida Tommy Zeigler called his friend’s house looking for the Chief of Police. Don Ficke. What Chief Ficke heard on the phone set in motion a story that still isn’t fully understood, 45 years later.

Tommy was found at his furniture store with a gunshot wound to the stomach. Further into the store a macabre scene unfolded. His wife and in-laws were found dead in pools of their own blood. Another man, Charlie Mays was also found dead.

Tommy told police that Charlie tried to rob the store and opened fire on Tommy and his family.

Tommy’s story quickly fell apart and he was charged with First Degree Murder. In July of 1976 Tommy was convicted of quadruple murder and sentenced to death.

Tommy maintains his innocence and is still fighting to avoid execution today.
