Summary

In the early morning hours of October 6, 2009, a 19-year-old woman is shot in her bed as she sleeps in her family’s Milwaukee, Wisconsin home. Immediately after the gunshot, the woman’s mother awakens to the sound of footsteps outside her door. Upon opening it, she comes face to face with an intruder holding a shotgun in his hand. The intruder flees, and the family rushes to the woman’s room, only to find her tragically deceased. Police immediately determine the murder was targeted, yet they struggle to figure out a motive and the case quickly goes cold. In our 300th episode, Jac and Alexis break down the murder of Ashleigh Love, and her family’s relentless pursuit of truth and justice.
