Episode Details

A chilling true crime saga unfolds in HBO’s new docuseries “A Killer Story,” diving into the decades-long battle over the 2002 double murder of Mike Sisco and Karen Harkness. Dana Chandler, Sisco’s ex-wife, was initially convicted but her conviction was overturned twice — first due to prosecutorial misconduct, then after a hung jury. It took a third trial for her to be found guilty again, sentenced to two life terms with no parole for 50 years. But behind the scenes, Eileen and Keen Umbehr spent years tirelessly arguing she was innocent — pointing to lack of physical evidence, questionable witness testimony, and a prosecution that fixated on her despite no murder weapon or proof she was even in Kansas at the time. The case became a courtroom chess match, a legal marathon, and a human drama — all while Chandler maintained her innocence. Now, as she serves her sentence and appeals, the Umbehrs’ unwavering belief in justice keeps this haunting story alive.
