Episode Episode 113 - The Harper Family
In July 2003, 39 year old Joanie Harper, her mother 70 year old Earnestine Harper and her three children 4 year old Marques, 2 year old Lyndsey and 6 week old Marshall were brutally killed by husband, son in law and father Vincent Brothers.
A seemingly well respected school Vice Principal, Brothers had a history of violence and abuse and carried out a planned and calculated murder of his whole family – while believing that his airtight alibi would remove him from suspicion.
Through forensics, entomology and investigating the mileage of a rental car, Brothers was arrested and tried for the murders of his family and is currently sitting on death row in California.
This is the story of the Harper Family.
