The Tetris Murders - 640

from Generation Why: True Crime

September 1998 – Palo Alto, CA. Tetris co-creator Vladimir Pokhilko was found dead with a stab wound on the right side of his neck. His wife, Elena Fedotova, and 12-year-old son, Peter Pokhilko, were brutally killed. The case was ruled a murder-suicide, but the local Russian community insisted it was a Mafia hit. More than twenty years later, investigators are still searching for the truth of what happened.
