o In 1990, a young girl found her mother, Eva Shoen, dead from a gunshot in the head. The police looked into obvious leads such as the bullet and Eva’s husband but they led to nowhere. Three years later, the police received a call from a man who believed his brother, Frank Marquis, was to blame. In their investigation, they found that Marquis had been in town for a festival and that he had a police record for rape. They also learned that on his drive back from the festival he had tossed two bundles out of the car, most likely clothes. Detectives narrowed the possible locations and found that a construction crew had recently uncovered a bundle of clothing in a pile of dirt. On a shirt they were able to find a single strand of hair and examine it against a hair sample taken from Eva Shoen. They were a close match and the police was able to acquire a confession from Marquis, however, it was for a lesser crime. Marquis’s plea bargain gave him twenty four years in prison for manslaughter.
