Something that I have talked about a lot on this podcast is the fact that I do believe that internet sleuths and podcasts like this one are something that can be an assistance to open cases.  However, much on the flip side there are many, many times throughout history where we have seen that the victims of crimes and the families of victims of crimes can have their lives SEVERELY damaged and even ruined by people who are always quick to share their opinions and their guilty verdicts with the community at large.  Many people think that is something that came around with the advent and the growth of things like social media, something that bonded people together over cases, both open and closed.  However, as I am going to show you with this week’s case, onlookers sharing their opinions which in turn turned into rumours is something that predates the internet.  In 1973 a group of five teenagers ventured into the forest for a fire and to smoke some marijuana when they were completely ambushed by three brothers.  Four teenagers lost their lives that day and one girl survived.  However what was clearly a blessing in her life would turn into a curse.
