People Magazine Presents: Crimes of the 90s
People Magazine goes beyond the headlines by walking through each year of the 1990s to put a spotlight on the most intriguing and chilling crimes of the decade. Each dramatic and gripping episode reveals the true narrative behind some of the most notorious stories, from Mary Kay Letourneau's scandalous affair with a 14-year-old to the disappearance of JonBenét Ramsey. Revisiting these high-profile cases years later gives people the opportunity to grapple with lingering questions, including what was done right, what could have been done better and what is still left unanswered.
