Summary

In 1970, 4 year old Heidi Jones found her mother’s body in their home in Price, Utah. Loretta had been murdered and Heidi told police “Tom did it”. Authorities tracked down a man named Tom Egley — who had dated Loretta for 2 months —  but there was not enough evidence to prove he had murdered her. Heidi never gave up hope on getting her mother’s case solved, and 46 years later, justice would prevail.
