In 1993, the small, historic town of Jamestown, California would be rocked by a widely publicized murder. Many people would praise the murderer, even calling the killer a hero. A family would be torn apart as a result of a series of tragic events, that began with allegations of abuse. At the end of it all, two people would be dead, and another would be torn away from family for a very long time. Join me as I walk you through the case involving Ellie Nesler.
