Episode Details

On the night of November 7, 1983, David Hendricks, a businessman and father of three, claimed he left his home in Bloomington, Illinois, only to return to a gruesome scene: his wife and three young children, Susan Hendricks, Rebecca Hendricks, Grace Hendricks, and Benjamin Hendricks, brutally murdered. What followed was an intense investigation that led to his arrest and eventual conviction, despite his continuous claims of innocence. Did they get the right guy, or is a cold-blooded murderer still on the loose? Join us as we get into the perplexing case of the Hendricks family murders.

Poll Question:Do you believe David Hendricks is guilty? (Yes, No, I don't know)
