In 1996 Daniel Green was convicted for the murder based on the testimony of Larry Demery who took a plea deal and testified against his childhood friend, Green. Green was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. 28 years later, the judge who sentenced Green to prison for life believes he was wrong, and wants to help get Daniel Green out of prison. Joseph Scott Morgan will explain how James Jordan ended up cremated as a an unidentified homicide victim "John Doe" in South Carolina, and Dave Mack  look behind the headlines to find out what really happened when the father of the most popular man on the planet vanished into thin air.         Transcript Highlights 00:26.31 Introduction - Being a Dad 04:14.50 James Jordan, father of Michael Jordan 09:11.94 James Jordan is missing, July 23, 1993 14:04.27 Using a swamp to get rid of evidence 19:01.45 Condition of James Jordan's body 23:10.14 Identifying a body.
