Episode Details

This transcript details a cold case investigation into a violent home invasion that left Michael Temple Jr. paralyzed and eventually led to his death years later. Although the robbery was initially linked to illicit drug sales from a home safe, the trail went cold until advanced DNA phenotyping and genetic genealogy identified Fred Frampton Jr. as the shooter. Investigators shockingly discovered that the killer and his accomplice were former coworkers of the victim’s father who had remained close to the family after the crime. Through a covert DNA collection from a discarded cigarette, police finally secured a match and a full confession. The narrative concludes with Frampton receiving a 55-year prison sentence, providing a tragic resolution for the victim's grieving family and former partner.
