When Jillian Hadley burst from her home, she was clutching her baby, and she was naked. She was screaming for help, trying to escape the grip of a man. The man was her estranged husband. He was under a court order to stay away from her. A few brave neighbours tried to help the woman, but on that Tuesday 26 years ago, 34-year-old Ralph Hadley shot and killed Jillian Hadley and then killed himself. In 2001 Karen Levine set out to talk to those neighbours. For our special archival doc summer series, This is her Peabody award winning documentary … 'A Murder in the Neighborhood.'
