On September 29th, 2015, a 40-year-old woman named Kelley Clayton was found brutally murdered in her own home in Elmira, New York. She was stabbed more than a dozen times while her children slept upstairs.
At first glance, it looked like a nightmare scenario: an unknown intruder, a violent home invasion, a family torn apart.
But as investigators would soon discover, the truth wasn’t hiding in the shadows.
It was sitting right at the kitchen table.
This is the story of Kelley Clayton, who she was, how she died, and how the person responsible tried, and failed, to get away with murder.
