In 1993, 13-year-old Crystallyn Girard was found dead in her bedroom by her mother Lynn Dejac. The police found Lynn to be a neglectful mother and pinned the murder on her. She was ultimately convicted and sent off to prison. Lynn contended that the likely suspect was her ex-boyfriend Dennis Donahue.

And, why would police not go after the suspect that many people believe committed the murder?
