It鈥檚 now been 13 years. Chris reflects on decisions he made. The friends he had. Staying out that hot night in August instead of going home. And on what he would do if he is ever released. We offer him a potential lifeline. Tell us what really happened between you and Awet, what he said, what he was planning to do that day. Surely this was a drug deal gone wrong.
Suspicion
Chief Investigative Reporter Kevin Donovan, who brought you the Billionaire Murders, is back with Murder on Mount Olive, an investigation of a crime the courts closed the book on in 2012.

What happens that day will put a budding young soccer star turned carpenter behind bars for life for a crime he says he didn鈥檛 commit. This is the story of Christopher Sheriffe and his fight for justice.
