0:15.0 | This is 10-minute murder. On the 28th of January 1971, Dana Ewell was born to two highly successful parents. |
0:50.0 | His father, Dale Ewell, had become a multi-millionaire through aircraft sales after leaving the U.S. Air Force. |

2:14.6 | There was also evidence that had been meticulously planned by somebody who was |

2:27.1 | and each of the shell casings had been carefully picked up after the gun was fired. The killer had |
2:33.2 | very good aim. While Glee was shot four times, |
