71.The Brutal Case Of The Eastburn Family Murder And The 20 Years It Took To Solve

A death row inmate receives a letter one day. The letter reads, 

“I did the crime, I murdered the Eastburns. Sorry you’re doin the time. I’ll be safely out of North Carolina when you read this.

Thanks, Mr. X”

This letter is very interesting to the inmate because he is going to be executed for the brutal rape and murder of 31-year-old Kathryn, and the murders of 5-year-old Kara and 3-year-old Erin Eastburn. It's possible this letter could help prove his innocents and save his life......but is he innocent? 

This case takes many twists and turns and over 20 years before a final decision is made about the man's guilt.
