Part 1-of-4.

I want to tell you a true crime story that is close to me. Closer than perhaps any story I’ve told so far. It’s the story about the death of my friend’s brother.

In 1987, Jacob was killed when he was only nine-months-old. His brother, Eric, was only six at the time—but, shockingly, he was blamed for his baby brother’s death.

This is Eric and Jacob's story.

This story is told in collaboration with Eric Carter-Landin.
