In the quiet rural town of Pukekawa, New Zealand, tragedy struck in the winter of 1970, marking the beginning of one of the country's most infamous and enduring murder mysteries. Harvey and Jeannette Crewe, a young farming couple, were brutally murdered in their home, their lives cut short in circumstances that remain shrouded in mystery and controversy. Decades later, their deaths still resonate, casting a long shadow over the small community and raising questions about justice, truth, and the very fabric of New Zealand's judicial system.
