Show by Criminal Files Unsealed
In Vicksburg, Michigan, the brutal 1983 murder of 16-year-old Eric Cross remained an unsolved mystery for 35 years while a local conspiracy of silence protected the perpetrators. Although investigators initially suspected a standard hit-and-run, evidence later revealed that Eric had been dragged behind a car by a group of teenagers after leaving a drinking party. Eric's sister, Jackie, tirelessly kept the investigation alive by creating a social media page that collected decades of local rumors and tips. Police eventually focused their suspicions on a reputed local bully named Brent Spalding and his then-girlfriend, Amber Thomas, suspecting jealousy and a subsequent cover-up. Following a renewed wave of public attention and a critical breakthrough in the case, law enforcement submitted warrant requests for five individuals to the district attorney.
