1998 - Portland, Maine.
On the night of April 4th, 1998, 18-year-old Robert Joyal was stabbed to death in front of 50 people in the Denny's parking lot in Portland, Maine. A month after the murder the police made an arrest... but over the course of the next two years, the state's case would slowly unravel, leaving a potential killer to walk free.
How is a case that had up to 100 potential witnesses still unsolved to this day? Dive into the investigation, what went wrong, and why this case, despite having anywhere between 40 and 100 witnesses, still isn't solved.
Hear Rob's story told through his brother, Marc, in the conclusion of this two part special on the life and death of Robert Joyal and a family's 20-year search for answers.
If you know anything about the murder of Robert Joyal, I urge you to call the Portland Police Department's tip line at 207-874-8584.
