Summary

Around 6AM on November 29th, 2001, Billy Wayne Cope called 911 from his house in Rock Hill, South Carolina. He told the call taker that his 12-year-old daughter was dead. Amanda Cope was laying lifeless on her bed, an obvious victim of sexual assault and a brutal murder. Her father, within a week of the murder, had confessed to the rape and murder of his daughter, not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES. Despite his three detailed confessions to police, Billy Wayne Cope denied that he was involved in his daughter's death. Another man’s DNA was found on Amanda’s body, with no physical evidence directly linking him to Amanda’s murder, yet the State of South Carolina didn’t budge. They believed that Billy Wayne Cope had welcomed a child murderer into his home that night and gave him his daughter.
