True crime

Donna O’Steen was found stabbed to death in her home after failing to pick up her daughter from piano lessons. Many believe the investigation into her murder was overshadowed by the assassination of Thomas Wales, an Assistant U.S. Attorney, leading many to believe that authorities prioritized solving his murder over Donna’s, leaving both cases unsolved.
