Crimelines® True Crime

This case is *solved*

When Joan Robinson Hill died in 1969, her father was sure foul play was involved even after multiple autopsies ruled it was natural causes. The state ended up charging her husband under a rarely used law, but he was never convicted after he, too, ended up dead. Going on 60 years later, people still ask if Joan Hill was murdered and who was behind John Hill’s death?
