On April 30, 1989, Bob, Dawn, Janel and Jolene Pelley were all found dead in their home in Lakeville, Indiana. The police zeroed in on Jeff Pelley, who was 17 at the time. The police said that Jeff was the only one who had a motive, his dad had grounded him weeks before and he wanted to go to the prom on April 29.
Jeff was arrested 13 years after the murders, and was found guilty in 2006, on four counts of murder. Did Jeff really kill most of his family because he wanted to go to the prom?
