Summary

In 1993, Joseph Wellnitz, his wife Beth, and their 20-year-old son Dennis were murdered inside their Columbia, Kentucky home. Although the police had their suspicions early on, it took nearly a decade to catch the killer.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Meg Wellnitz-Appleton and Bill Meece. For years, their alibis stood up and prevented the authorities from moving forward against them. But when Bill got a divorce from his wife, his world turned upside down. Meg and Bill told differing stories, and it would be up to juries to decide who was telling the truth.
