Thirty Years Later & Still No Answers: Who Killed Leon Laurales? Part 1
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It's been thirty years since Arlene received the worst news of her life: her Uncle and best friend was murdered in the dead of night on his way to work. His car left burning in a culvert next to the railroad tracks and a gun range on the outskirts of Brownwood, Texas.
The next thirty years would bring more questions than answers. Leon had a secret, one that could have gotten him killed. With so many others with secrets, after years of searching and years of heartbreak, Arlene comes closer to the truth as she keeps pressure on local law enforcement and questions the original investigation.
Join Arlene as she shares her memories, love, loyalty, and investigation as she and her wife, Leah, fight for Justice for Leon.
