Summary

Four years after Casey Kasem died at 82, his widow and oldest children accuse each other of killing the iconic DJ. Jean Kasem convinced a Washington State police chief -- in the town where Kasem died -- to open a homicide investigation targeting her stepchildren. The daughters point the finger at their stepmother, accusing her. Jean Kasem talks to Nancy Grace about her claims, along with a panel of experts including psycho analyst Dr Bethany Marshall, defense lawyer Troy Slaten, forensics expert Joseph Scott Morgan, family & divorce lawyer Kathleen Murphy, and Crime Stories producer Alan Duke. Grace also updates the case of North Carolina teen Hania Aguila. The FBI believes a body found about 10 miles from the home where she was kidnapped is the 13-year-old.
