In March of 1978, the small town of Warren Rhode Island was sent into a

tail spin after a well-known member of their community was shot to death just days after his business burned to the ground.

Who would have it out for a man so beloved?

The deeper you dig into this unsolved it gets.

I'm Kylie Lowe and this is the case of Aaman J. Meel

on Dark Down East. The Down East. The J-Miel family owned Warren, Rhode Island, figuratively speaking, but perhaps literally

too.

Many of the 13 children of Albert and Mary J-Miel were business owners in the small town.

Morpheus Jmiel was a lawyer there for decades.

Hiram founded the Jmiel Insurance Agency and Bo cleaned rugs and offered tax services all from the same shop.

There was the J-Meal-run children's clothing store, a J-Meal shoe store,

heck the J-Mials even have a park named after them in Warren. The oldest

J-Meal child and arguably the most locally famous of them all is without a doubt

aim in J-Meal. He was considered the unofficial mayor of the town, but his

actual occupation was the proud owner and operator of General Supply Company.

Though everyone knew the store as the House of a

million items. The three-story building at 429 Main Street in Warren was

bursting at the seams with absolutely everything.

The diversity of the inventory was impressive.

You could buy eggs and a hammer, a boat anchor and a lobster pot, seed for your garden and specialty

bread for your supper, even reproduction harpoons and handguns, all within the four walls of the same cluttered shop.

And the proprietor was perhaps as eclectic and impressive as the wares he stalked.
