The sole surviving member of the Joplin Family, 20-year-old Gregg, told police that after visiting a relative, he came home to find his family slain, and shot and killed the alleged intruder. On the surface, that story seemed to work. But as the investigation progressed, witnesses and evidence painted a much different story. Part 1 of ?
