In this episode, we will be discussing the heartbreaking case of Brenda Sue Schaeffer, who was murdered in 1988 by her ex-fiance and his partner. Brenda's family would never see justice for this crime because with a lack of evidence, Mel Ignatow was found innocent, only for him to confess to her brutal killing 11 months later - knowing he could not be charged due to the law of double jeopardy.
