On January 6th, 1999, in Port St John, Florida, the body of 29-year-old Sonya Nicole Speights was discovered lying in a blood-drenched tub. Investigators were initially informed that it was the sight of an accidental shooting, but the evidence indicated something far more suspicious. Who was this woman and who was the monster who murdered her inside her home?
This is the tragic case of brother and sister Catherine and Curtis Jones who at the time when these events unfolded, became the youngest convicted murderers in U.S. history.
