As the Friday night lights crowd cheered on their beloved hometown football teams, five employees of a local fast food restaurant were being gunned down in an isolated oil field. Their murders would shake the town of Kilgore Texas to the core. The five families of the victims, along with the Kilgore Police department, the Texas Rangers, and the FBI would search for justice for 20 years. But still, even after all that work there are more questions than answers.
