Summary

18-year-old Kolton Shearer was a recent high school graduate with big dreams for his future. In July of 2016, he had just returned home from college to Clay County, Florida, and was looking forward to spending time with friends. But a fun evening out suddenly turned into a nightmare, when a shocking attack left one person dead and another gravely wounded. As police interviewed witnesses, they zeroed in on a young woman who presented herself as an innocent bystander. But was she? Written by Jessamyn Ansary, Edited & Engineered by Scott Ecklein, and Executive Produced by Michael Ojibway.
