Summary

February 2010, newlyweds John and Carolyn Tarwacki don't show up to work at Quinlan and Fabish Music Center. When John's dad stops by their home in Niles, Michigan to check on them, he comes across a bloody and chaotic scene. Who would want them dead? What motive was there to kill the music loving pair?

The case took years to solve, but the work of a dedicated investigator and a prosecutor who didn't give up finally brought their killer to justice.
