Here’s the Tower’s team of investigative journalists continues digging into an unsolved case from four decades ago.

Residents in the quiet town of Haniston, Kentucky, were left reeling after three masked criminals pulled off a daring robbery at Pleasant Valley Savings Bank. Suspicions and theories still surround the case 40 years later.

In this episode, our team runs into a little frustration while collecting firsthand accounts from people who were on the scene, including Haniston’s former chief of police Larry Parsomn and DJ Spellchecker.
