Russellville, Arkansas was a quiet college town that hadn't seen a murder in nearly a decade. On December 15th, 2005, 19-year-old Nona Dirksmeyer, a beauty queen and music student, was found brutally beaten to death in her apartment. Her boyfriend discovered the body and immediately became the prime suspect. But what followed would expose deep flaws in the investigation and leave a family searching for answers they may never find.
