YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

On June 19, 2015, 68-year-old Shirley Carter was found shot dead in her rural Marion County, Iowa farmhouse, and suspicion immediately fell on her son Jason Carter. Her husband Bill was convinced Jason killed Shirley to protect a secret affair and secure the family's $5 million farm. Bill and his two other children filed a wrongful death lawsuit and won a $10 million civil judgment against Jason. But at his criminal murder trial in 2019, a jury deliberated just two hours before acquitting him, leaving Shirley's case officially unsolved.
