About This Episode
What is this episode about?
The episode "Case 357: Wayne & Sharmon Stock" from Casefile covers the killing of Wayne and Sharmon Stock, a couple found dead in their Murdock, Nebraska home on April 17, 2006. Described as pillars of their small community, the pair were shot while they slept, in a crime scene so brutal that investigators believed the attack had been targeted rather than random.
As investigators worked to identify a motive and a suspect, the case set off a chain of events that tore apart a family and split the local community apart. The episode traces how that investigation ultimately led to what is described as one of the worst miscarriages of justice in Nebraska's history, following the fallout for those connected to Sharmon Stock and her husband long after the initial crime scene was processed.
The episode's research and writing are credited to Jessica Larsen, with production and music by Mike Migas and audio editing by Anthony Telfer.
