- Evil in the Archives: Murdered for Millions | FULL DOCUMENTARY

- Description
- On Easter Sunday 1992, one of Fresno’s most prominent families was brutally murdered inside their own home. Dale Ewell, Glee Ewell, and their daughter Tiffany were found shot to death in what initially appeared to be a botched burglary. But detectives soon discovered something far more sinister.
Using never-before-seen archival news coverage, original interviews with investigators, prosecutors, friends, and those closest to the case, Evil in the Archives: Murdered for Millions revisits one of the Central Valley’s most shocking crimes. As the investigation unfolds, suspicion turns toward the family’s only surviving son, Dana Ewell, and a murder plot driven by greed, deception, and a multimillion-dollar inheritance.
More than three decades later, the case continues to raise haunting questions about evil, manipulation, and whether true remorse is ever possible.
