It was Election Day in Illinois in 1983 when David Hendricks would leave his family for a business trip to try and market his new patented back brace. Then everything changed when he had trouble getting in touch with his wife Susan.

Soon enough David found himself thrust into a murder investigation where he was the number 1 suspect. Let’s discuss the case and where everything ended up and where the case stands today.
