82. On the Level: The Murder of Eric Nelams

Eric Nelams was on his way to work one morning in 2003. He walked out of his house and headed toward his car, but the peaceful morning routine was shattered by the sound of gunshots.  After Eric’s murder, his family was thrown into a long painful journey of profound loss, while searching for answers.  Questions swirled about the motive behind the senseless act, and speculation ran rampant about who could have committed such a heinous crime. Was this a robbery gone wrong? A random act? Or was there a darker secret lurking underneath the surface?

Eric’s mother Annie, his sister Cathy and nephew Vincent all join Dawn for this special episode.
