Takeaways
The Pellies, a prominent family in Lakeville, Indiana, were found shot to death in their home on April 29th, 1989.
Jeff Pelly, the 17-year-old son of the family, became a person of interest in the case due to inconsistencies in his alibi and suspicious behavior.
Despite maintaining his innocence, Jeff was arrested and charged with the murders. The prosecution argued that he killed his family in a fit of rage over his father's strict rules and an argument about prom night.
The case went cold for many years until advances in forensic technology led to a breakthrough in 2002. Jeff was found guilty of four counts of murder in 2006 and sentenced to 160 years in prison.
The case remains controversial, with some believing that justice was served and others arguing that the evidence was insufficient to convict Jeff beyond a reasonable doubt.
