Nebraska: The Beatrice Six

from True Crime in the 50 Hosted by Katy Accardo

In the early morning hours of February 5th, 1985 a 68-year-old grandmother named Helen Wilson was raped and murdered in her apartment in the 600 block of North 6th Street in Beatrice Nebraska. No one could solve the case until a girl named Lisa Puttendorf went to the cops and told them that a friend of hers, JoAnn Taylor had confessed to the crime along with her boyfriend Joseph "Lobo" White and Tom Winslow. The case would spiral and spiral until six people were in prison for the crime. But years later, DNA evidence would point the case in a whole different direction and things were not what they seemed.
