Summary

On May 31, 2000, Nineteen-year-old Jill Behrman, went missing while riding her bike in Bloomington, Indiana. A local woman named Wendy Owings, and two of her shady friends confessed to 46 people that they murdered Jill. Wendy provided a detailed confession to the police and passed a polygraph test regarding her account of the crime. Wendy's confession lead the police to drain Salt River, where they found evidence corroborating her story; however, they didn't have enough to make an arrest and they still hadn't found Jill's body. Three years later, a hunter found Jill's remains in a densely overgrown wooded area and the entire case got turned upside down. The police no longer focused on Wendy and her friends, and instead arrested another local man, John Myers II. In 2006, he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to 65 years in prison. In 2019, his conviction was overturned. So who killed Jill Behrman?
