Pushkin. It
0:22
all started with two federal agents
0:25
who heard a rumor.
0:28
She mentions, well, there is this alleged
0:31
murder to have taken place.
0:35
Supposedly, this happened fifteen years
0:37
prior, right before senior
0:39
prom Two teenagers, self
0:41
proclaimed skinheads, drove to Philadelphia
0:44
and killed a black man. One
0:47
was behind the wheel, the other pulled the trigger.
0:50
The agents wondered, could they track
0:52
the driver down and get him to talk.
0:55
I'm thinking nobody does that.
0:57
Nobody wants to talk to their least favorite FBI
0:59
and ATF agent in the world about
1:01
a homicide they didn't commit.
1:03
But even if they got this guy to talk, they
1:06
had a bigger problem.
1:07
They had these details, but
1:10
they didn't actually have a body to
1:12
go with it.
1:13
How unusual was that to
1:15
have someone say, hey, we
1:18
we we're pretty certain there's a murder, we have a confession.
1:20
We just we got no body.
1:24
That's rather unusual.
1:27
So how do you solve a crime
1:29
in reverse when you think you
1:31
know who the murderer is but have
1:34
no clue who the victim was.
1:36
We have to do our job and
1:38
we have to find out who
1:42
did they kill? If possible,
1:45
how are we going to do that?
1:48
Their investigation leads them to a family
1:50
who's also searching for answers and
1:53
for justice.
1:57
I used to watch the Unsolved Mischievy
1:59
shows and I often thought
2:01
about calling because
2:04
I was like, this, this is not right. How
2:06
can a person get killed and no one knows
2:08
any thing.
2:11
Fifteen years is a long time. Evidence
2:14
vanishes, memories fade, witnesses
2:17
slip away. But the questions
2:19
linger, is the rumor true?
2:22
Is this really something two teenagers
2:24
did? And is it still
2:26
possible to unearth the truth?
2:30
I think she was trying to get answers. I feel
2:32
like she was, you know, still heartbroken.
2:34
A body now in a criminal
2:36
case. The prosecution side of the story,
2:38
they have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. As
2:41
to the defense side of the story, we just have
2:43
to create reasonable doubt. But
2:45
we did way more than that.
2:48
Was definitely a different type of case.
2:50
A skinhead coming to Philadelphia
2:52
to kill somebody.
2:54
A cowardly act.
2:56
When it all boils down to it, a
2:58
cowardly act.
3:00
We didn't like the speculation the
3:02
family, and I thought that this would
3:05
be good if we found
3:07
these what happened to them. Can't do nothing
3:09
about it, can't bring them back. But at least we'll
3:11
find out the truth.
