On January 17th, 1987, gunmen broke into the Shelby Adult Bookstore in North Carolina. They ordered the five men inside to lay on the ground face down. After shooting each man, they robbed the place and lit ablaze. What followed was years of trying to track down the culprits. Join Sage and Frank as they look into the Shelby Bookstore Murders.
