Synopsis
A young girl is murdered in her home and, after finding no signs of an intruder, police begin to focus on Michael Crowe, the victim's 14-year-old brother, as their prime suspect. Police claim that Crowe and two friends killed Stephanie Crowe, citing sibling rivalry as the motive. Throughout hours of intense questioning, without a lawyer or parent present, Crowe denied any involvement in the stabbing. As the interrogation wore on, Crowe, visibly distraught and overwhelmed, changed his story and made incriminating statements. Crowe and two friends were arrested and charged with the murder of his sister. Shortly after the murder, police arrested a homeless, mentally ill drifter named Richard Raymond Tuite near the Crowe home. Tuite's blood-stained clothes were retained by police, but he was released from custody. DNA proved the blood on the drifter's clothes was that of Stephanie Crowe.
