The Lexington Triple Homicide: Who Really Pulled the Trigger? | Part 1 of 3
Manage episode 475785568 series 2854964
A routine death call transforms into a detective's worst nightmare when one body becomes three in a matter of hours. When Frank Reschke is found murdered in his recliner, detectives quickly realize they're missing two crucial elements - the victim's car and his stepson, Ricky Sherroan.
What follows is a masterclass in homicide investigation as detectives balance gathering evidence from the initial crime scene while tracking down a suspect who seems to have vanished. When a worried father arrives looking for his son who was friends with the missing stepson, the case takes a devastating turn. "We've got two more over here," comes the chilling call that changes everything.
The investigation spans from Lexington to Shively to Louisville in Kentucky as detectives work through the night, processing multiple crime scenes, interviewing witnesses, and coordinating with other jurisdictions - all while a mother endures the unimaginable reality of losing her husband and facing the possibility her son was responsible. The case raises profound questions about family trauma, evidence collection across multiple scenes, and how detectives maintain focus when working "on fumes."
This riveting account delivers exceptional insight into the real workings of a major homicide investigation - from the crucial role coroners play in Kentucky (where they legally "own" the body and even have arrest powers) to the tactical decisions about search warrants and evidence processing that can make or break a case. Follow along as investigators unravel what really happened on April 20, 1999, and discover why Ricky Sherroan would ultimately be convicted of two murders but not three.
Don't miss this remarkable journey into a case that demonstrates why the first 48 hours are critical in solving violent crimes. Subscribe now for the conclusion of this powerful story.
