Summary

The Feeney family were what some would call a 'picture perfect' family. They lived in a tidy, new subdivision in Springfield, Missouri — a town nestled in the Ozarks.

On February 25, 1995, Jon Feeney said goodbye to his wife and two young children before driving to a teacher’s conference in a neighboring town. Two days later, his family was found brutally murdered.

Tracking down former law enforcement officers, coworkers, and family members, journalist Anne Roderique-Jones returns to her hometown in Springfield searching for answers to find out: who killed Cheryl, Tyler, and Jennifer?
