The autumn moon in Nebraska, that troubled year, watched over a crop of confusion.

What happened to that murder investigation? Who was guilty of killing Wayne and Charmin's stock?

If you'd asked around Murdoch, the answer would be those cousins, Matt Livers, and Nick Sampson, locked up for months now.

But after the arrest of Wisconsin teenagers Greg Fester and Jessica Reed, Matt's lawyer and Nick's both adopted an altogether different point of view,

seemed to them those boys must be innocent.

Here's Nick's lawyer, Jerry Sussi.

That must be a good feeling?

No, it wasn't.

That's a good feeling to know your client's innocent.

It's a bad feeling to know that your client's still in jail.

You can't get him out.

The cops are coming up with every other kind of theory they can

think of to drag him in. And then when we get the Reed and Fester interviews, we see how they're

bending over backwards to basically show him a picture of my client and say, isn't that the guy

that you met? So many problems. There was Matt's confession, which, no matter how he tried to talk his way out of it, could still be used against him. And that smear of blood? Remember that? It was apparently victim Wayne Stock's blood, discovered by lead detective Kofod in a car owned by Nick Samson's brother

and spotted near the murder scene right around the time it happened.

So the prosecutor wasn't about to drop any charges.

And meanwhile, sitting in jail, Nick had thoughts of taking his own life.

Nick was in really, really bad shape.

And so at that point, I'm holding him together.

It's going to work out.

It's going to work out.
