Episode 71 - The Feeney Family
In February 1995, the quiet town of Springfield, Missouri was devastated by a brutal familicide. Cheryl Feeney and her two young children — 6-year-old Tyler and 18-month-old Jennifer — were found savagely murdered in their own home. The crime scene was bizarre, chilling, and left more questions than answers.
Husband and father Jon Feeney was away at a teacher’s conference when the murders took place. But it wasn’t long before suspicion fell squarely on him. Despite a trial that captivated the nation and a verdict of not guilty, many remain convinced that Feeney got away with murdering his family.
This is the story of the Feeney Family.
