Prom Night Murders: Justice or Wrongful Conviction?MURDERISH Ep. 165

Published: July 1, 2024, 9 a.m.

A small town Indiana minister is brutally murdered in his own home. His wife and young daughters lay lifeless in the basement. It\u2019s the kind of crime that rocks an entire community and dampens their spirit forever.\xa0\n\nThe horrific quadruple homicide happened in 1989, when DNA testing was in its infancy. Would investigators be able to lean on this new technology to catch the person who massacred an entire family?\xa0\n\nAs time went on and the case went cold, the facts became blurred. Would Bob and Dawn Pelley, and their two young daughters Janel and Jolene, ever get justice for the tragedy that befell them?\n\nFollow Jami on Instagram & TikTok @JamiOnAir and join the Serial Streamers true crime TV club!\n\nSubscribe to Jami\u2019s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@jamionair\n\nSponsors\nCity Beauty: Visit citybeauty.com and use code MURDERISH for 15% off sitewide.\nGabb Wireless: Visit gabb.com/MURDERISH for $25 off any new device to new customers.\nShopify: Visit shopify.com/murderish (all lowercase) to sign up for a $1/month trial period.\n\nDirty Money Moves: Women in White Collar Crime - Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dirty-money-moves-women-in-white-collar-crime/id1619521092.\n\nLipstick & Lies - Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lipstick-lies/id1704189120?i=1000625570159\n\nResearch and writing by: Alison Schwartz\n\nMissing person (Arianna Fitts): To report information about Arianna\u2019s whereabouts, please contact your local FBI office or the nearest American Embassy.\n\nWant to advertise on this show?
