Pelley Family Murders
#223 - In 1989, four members of the Pelley family from Indiana were gunned down inside their home. Without any leads or forensic evidence, the police decided they had their suspect: the Pelley family's 17-year-old son, Jeff. And the motive was simple: Jeff murdered his family because he wasn't allowed to go to prom.
Is Jeff Pelley guilty or innocent?

Customer Reviews
Started listening…
Started listening this week and will continue. I will say I like the show but being from NJ and having listened to Direct Appeal, it has inaccurate information on the Suitcase/Melanie McGuire case.
Pretty Good
Shows contain a lot of interesting information and I typically enjoy listening. Host has a few speech impediments that can be a bit grating, because when someone’s voice is all you have, it’s easy to focus on imperfections. She can say “crime SCENE” correctly. Not sure why “teen” comes out “teeng.” Scripts could be edited better, too. Occasionally she’ll repeat facts a few times and she uses the word “literally” incorrectly on occasion. When discussing facts, that can change the entire intended meaning. I wish I could proofread her scripts. I’ll keep listening, though.
