Today, we will discuss a case that took nearly 40 YEARS for the victim's family to receive justice. The 15-year old victim in this week's case was assaulted and murdered in 1975, by her Aunt's violent ex-boyfriend. Our murderer for this week was arrested and stood trial for his crimes, but was acquitted due to a lack of evidence. Due to double jeopardy laws he would not be retried without new evidence. Thankfully, due to a persistent sister and police doing an excellent job preserving DNA evidence in 1975, this violent offender would once again be stand trial for his crimes. Listen to today's episode to hear how Dennis McGrory nearly got away with murder!
