"This wasn't an April Fools joke."

That's what Callie Owl learned on April 1, 1948, when someone told her that her 24-year-old daughter had been shot. She rushed to the hospital hoping—praying—it was some kind of cruel prank.

It wasn't.

Dora Owl died that day, leaving behind two babies—an 8-month-old daughter and a 3-year-old son.

The person responsible? Served only 5 years.

Tonight on Justice After Dark, we're telling Dora's story—a story that was buried for over 70 years. This is about a mother's worst nightmare, a system's failure, and why we must never forget.

📍 This is Dora's story.
