In June of 1993, a quiet Sunday evening in Windsor, North Carolina turned horrific when a man entered the Be-Lo grocery store just after closing time. Within minutes, he had gathered the store manager, a cashier, and the overnight cleaning crew into the back of the store—what followed was a calculated act of violence that left three people dead and two more clinging to life. Despite surviving the ordeal, one man’s eyewitness account and a mountain of investigative effort have not been enough to bring justice. Over 30 years later, the murders of Grover Cecil, Joyce Reason, and Johnnie Rankins remain unsolved. Join Ali and Eli as they go over this horrific cold case.
