Plot summary[]
In 1989, 4-year-old April Renee Tucker was found dead in the backyard of her Emory, Texas home. Her mother Debbie Loveless and step-father John Harvey Miller told police that she was attacked and killed by neighborhood dogs.
Investigators did not agree and believed that April's wounds were not dog bites, but slashing injuries, consistent with knife wounds. John and Debbie were found guilty of murder and sentenced to life in prison. Five years later, a forensic scientist saw something in the crime scene photographs that had been missed the first time around.
