Don and Kevin were just a couple of teenagers and best friends when they died in 1987. 

Their deaths were first ruled as accidents and they were killed by a train. Their parents did not agree with what was being said and fought to have their case re-opened. Once it was, the cause of death was changed to a homicide. 

The new investigation led to a lot of answers and ended with a lot more questions. Theories arrange from drug smugglers, politicians, and corrupt cops.

In 2008, the FBI arrested a man named Clark Rockefeller. It turned out that he was not a real Rockefeller, he was a conman. 

A conman with a history of murder. 

The web of lies that stretched over 30 years of cons and hidden identities began to unravel, revealing who the true man using the famous Rockefeller name was. 

It really just goes to show that if you're doing illegal activities, using the name of a prominent family in America is only going to draw more attention to your activities. 

If you could leave a rating/review for the show on whatever platform you listen on, that would be very appreciated.
