Forensic Files (1996)

Episode Overview

In 1989, the lifeless body of 4-year-old April Loveless was discovered in the yard of her Texas home. Her mother, Debbie Loveless, and stepfather, John Miller, claimed that neighborhood dogs had attacked and killed her, but the injuries on April's body contradicted their story. Investigators determined that her wounds resembled those made by a knife. Both John and Debbie were convicted of murder and received life sentences. However, five years later, a forensic scientist noticed something in the crime scene photos that had previously been overlooked, leading to a reconsideration of the case.
