A man who spent decades on death row for a murder he claims he didn't commit is fighting to stay free after a brief taste of freedom. At the same time, a mother is still searching for answers 14 years after her three young sons vanished without a trace. These are two stories of families caught in the nightmare of the unknown.
Crosley Green was convicted and sent to death row in 1990 for the 1989 kidnapping and murder of 20-year-old Charles "Chip" Flynn in Florida. His conviction was based largely on the testimony of three witnesses—his sister and two friends—who claimed he confessed to the crime, but all three later recanted, stating prosecutors pressured them to testify in exchange for leniency in their own drug cases. Green's sister Sheila even said she was threatened with the loss of her children if she did not cooperate. After years of legal battles, a 2018 federal ruling found prosecutors had withheld critical evidence, including notes from responding officers who doubted the victim's ex-girlfriend's story. Green was released in April 2021, but a federal appeals court later overturned that ruling, and in 2022 his quest for freedom was denied again. He may be forced to return to prison.
Meanwhile, the mother of three brothers who disappeared on November 26, 2010, continues to seek closure. Alexander, Andrew, and Tanner Skelton were last seen with their father, who remains a suspect in their disappearance. Tanya Zuvers has not seen her sons in 14 years.
