145: Delayed Justice: Julie Rea

Julie Rea was awakened in the middle of the night by her son's screams. She claimed that a masked intruder broke in and murdered her son, but investigators didn't buy it. In prison, Julie did a 20/20 interview where she told her story, and as fate would have it, a true crime writer was watching, and it changed the course of the story.
