Summary

On Sunday, June 5th, 1983, Bill Hughes drove the short distance from his home to the home of Peggy and Doug Ryen. Bill’s son, 11-year-old Chris, had a sleepover that night with the Ryens’ son, Josh. There was no answer at the front door and the Ryens’ car was missing. When he peeked in through a sliding glass door in the back of home, Bill thought what he was seeing was some sort of prank. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. Inside the home were the bodies of Doug, Peggy, and Jessica Ryen, and Bill’s son, Chris. Josh Ryen, the youngest boy, had somehow survived what turned out to have been a brutal massacre. Several months later, despite many lingering questions about the murders, a man was charged and ultimately sentenced to death. Was Kevin Cooper guilty of a quadruple homicide or had he been framed?
