1966 -Andover, New Hampshire.

In September of 1966, 45-year-old Everett Delano was shot in cold blood at the gas station in Andover, New Hampshire where he worked as an attendant. Everett was a husband, a father, and a veteran with so much life left to live, senselessly murdered in a random act of violence.

As 1966 came to a close without an arrest, the family wondered if their case would be solved: There was no DNA, no suspects, and for decades, no prospects of being solved.

But almost 5 decades later, one call set this case on the fast track for justice.... and investigators realize the killer had been sitting, waiting to be "matched" the entire time.

Hear Everett's story with help from his son, Daryl, the strange circumstances of this case, and how this solved New England cold case beat the odds and now stands as a beacon of hope.
