Summary

John and Nancy Newman lived in Anchorage, Alaska in March 1987. At that time, John, who was training to become a locksmith, was out-of-town completing his training. Nancy was left at home with their two daughters, 8-year-old Melissa and 3-year-old Angie. On the morning of March 15, 1987, after not arriving at her job the night before, the bodies of Nancy and her two daughters were found by her brother-in-law, when he accompanied Nancy's sister to do a welfare check. Listen to this week's episode to hear this gruesome story of the terrible and heart-wrenching demise of this young family.
