The six suspects were convicted after five of them confessed to the murder. However, they were exonerated after 20 years when DNA examination found them innocent.

The hastened investigation was one of the primary reasons behind the erroneous conviction of the six suspects. DNA matches found using blood and semen samples from the crime scene pointed to a person other than the six suspects, but that was not taken into account.

The docuseries will shine light on the entirety of the case, and reveal the real perpetrator of the crime who has been arrested 20 years after the murder.
