Summary

In part one of this two-part series, we cover the cold-case homicides of Birmingham, Alabama nail-salon owners Jacky Nguyen and Nhut Phan, who were killed in their store just after Christmas in 2010; though their children have long hoped for movement in the case, they've been waiting for answers for over a decade. Rumors and lack of communication became a hallmark for their parents' case: Thao and Linda want to know: who killed Jacky and Nhut? Was it just a robbery, or was there something more at stake?
