Brenda Sue Schaefer was described as a kind, pretty, and smart young woman. Her biggest flaw was falling in love with the wrong men. She would meet one such man, Melvin Ignatow, on a blind date set by her best friend. And when he gave her the attention she craved, she was hooked. But things would begin to crumble when Mel became controlling and abusive. Eventually, Brenda broke up with Mel. And then, on September 23, 1988, in Louisville, Kentucky, Brenda Sue Schaefer disappeared. And while everyone—and I mean everyone—knew who killed Brenda, no one would ever be convicted for her murder. This is the story of Melvin Ignatow. Double Jeopardy.
