Today, hear the story of Warwick police detective Jeffrey Scott Hornoff. In 1989, 29-year-old Victoria Cushman was murdered, and after an investigation hindered by mistakes, oversights, and police obstruction, Scott Hornoff was wrongfully convicted of the crime. Learn about Scott’s time in prison, the eventual confession to the crime by the actual murderer, Todd Barry, and the resolution of the two men’s cases.
