A Summit County prosecutor says the George family got a measure of justice with John Zaffino's conviction, but is frustrated that he's never admitted his involvement in Zack's death.
Appeals Court Judge Lynn Slaby dissented with his court's reversal of Cynthia George's conviction, which was sent back to the trial court. There's a small but significant difference between aiding and abetting, and conspiracy and complicity, he says.
Elaine Zack, mother of Jeff, says her son had a "hysterical" personality and wanted to join the Israeli air force. He studied Hebrew and probably would have lived if he had stayed in Israel, she says.
Ed George inherited hot night spot The Tangier from his father, and it's where anyone who was anyone would gather. Cynthia, who was always on his arm, came from much humbler circumstances.
The George family seemed to have it all, but its picture perfect exterior hid jealousy, lust and greed. A brazen public murder exploded what one investigator calls a "Bermuda" love triangle.

It was hard for people to victim-blame after Summer Inman's murder, former prosecutor Laina Fetherolf says. She did nothing wrong, and had fairly unimpeachable character.

Bill Inman says he's often asked what he'd change after Summer was killed. He advises against having difficult conversations the way he and his family did with Summer, and involving a "neutral third party," because what happened that night could happen to any family.

King Kelly, a pastor and friend of the Inmans, says before the story of Summer's death broke, he never would have believed Bill and Sandra were capable of what happened.
A postal service worker called in a raging house fire in Wayland New York in February 2016. In took a while for emergency services to respond. With the structure already caving, neighbors worried: Was beloved local handyman David O'Dell inside?
Will Inman married the love of his life, Summer, at a young age, then went into construction with his dad. Then he told his parents the good news: They were going to be grandparents.
The Inman family was devoted to one another and deeply religious, to the outside world. However, a disappearance unearthed shocking secrets and a volatile domestic situation.
Former Atoka County Prosecutor James Thornely remembers the drama of Cummings' death-penaty trial. The witnesses are all perpetrators or accomplices. It would be the county's first death sentence. When it was over, law enforcement celebrated. Thornley said he just wanted to go home. "It was sad," he said.
