On the night of May 30, 2003, 16-year-old Jason Sweeney of Fishtown, Philadelphia was finishing up his work at a local construction site. With his $500-paycheck in his pocket, he excitedly headed out on a date with his girlfriend, Justina Morley. The two had only been going out for a few weeks, but he was already head over heels in love with her.  Unfortunately for Jason, though, this relationship would end in tragedy.
