A Story That Still Haunts America
More than thirty years have passed, but the story continues to be remembered.
Not only because of the number of lives affected.
Not only because it happened during the Christmas season.
But because it serves as a heartbreaking reminder that some tragedies leave wounds that never fully heal.
For many, the image that remains strongest is not the courtroom, the headlines, or the investigation.
It is the Christmas tree.
The unopened presents.
And the family members who never got the chance to celebrate the holiday they had been waiting for all year.
