COPIED FROM COURT TV WEB SITE:
The Wrong Man?
Nine years after a jury found Stuart Heaton guilty of the grisly murder of 16-year-old Krystal Nabb, Court TV returned to the scene of the crime to question if the wrong man might be behind bars. This documentary follows New York City Detective Jerry Palace and Investigative Journalist Scott Anderson to Ramsey, Illinois where they investigate the arrest, trial and conviction of Heaton.
On July 23, 1991 at 4 p.m, Curtis Nabb entered his familyâs trailer home and found the phone ripped from the wall, blood all over the trailer, sewing scissors on the kitchen counter--and the body of his 16 year-old sister, Krystal. The scissors had been used to stab Krystal 81 times, leaving her dead on the kitchen floor. Police questioned neighbors and learned a white pick-up truck was parked outside the trailer around the time of the murder. Under interrogation, Curtis singled out Stuart Heaton as the truckâs owner. At the time of his arrest, Heaton and his wife were expecting their first child.
"The Wrong Man?" reveals a tangle of overlooked evidence and a botched investigation that omitted questioning another potential suspect. The documentary conducts fresh interviews with family members and potential subjects, and carefully reviews physical evidence, including DNA.
