Summary

Episode 45: Judy Nesbitt

Judy Nesbitt was a busy mother of 4 teens during Thanksgiving week, 1980. But she had time to run to an appointment – and that meeting would change the Nesbitt family’s life forever. When Judy’s dead body was found by her husband on their boat, investigators had no clue who could have killed her. The only clues: a phone call to the house, and a young man in Aviator sunglasses. Newport Beach, CA police grasped at straws for decades before resorting to forensic genealogy. And when they received the report, they were shocked to note that the killer’s name had been there in the case file all along.
