EP 125: BLIND READ — "The Killer Cadets"

In December 1995, a farmer driving along a desolate country road outside Mansfield, Texas, found the body of 16-year-old Adrienne Jones — shot twice, her skull caved in, left behind a barbed wire fence in the dark. She had been lured out of her house in the middle of the night by the boy she had a crush on. What investigators would eventually uncover was a murder plot born out of jealousy, obsession, and two teenagers who had convinced themselves that eliminating a girl was the only way to preserve what they had.
