In the quiet hours before dawn on March 17th, 2011 — St. Patrick’s Day — the city of Binghamton was asleep.

Then, at 3:30 a.m., flames erupted on the front porch of a home at 20 Milford Street.

Inside were seven members of the Aissa family.

Six would escape.

One would not.

Seventeen-year-old Jeffrey Aissa — a twin, a brother, a son — never made it out.

And for nearly fifteen years, the truth about what happened that night would remain buried beneath smoke, silence, and unanswered questions.
