A/N once again no video * le sad face*
On September 7, 1988, a wealthy couple was brutally attacked inside their Long Island home. Their 17-year-old son, Marty, awoke that morning to discover his mother murdered in her bed. His father, Seymour, was lying unconscious in his study with his throat slit. After Marty called 911, his father was taken to the hospital and remained in a coma for 29 days before passing away.
Marty confessed to the murders and was sentenced to 50 years. However, he maintained that he was coerced into confessing because the detective falsely claimed that Seymour had come out of his coma and implicated Marty in the murders. Marty always insisted the most likely suspect was Jerry Steuerman, his father's partner in a chain of bagel stores. Steuerman was in the midst of a dispute with Seymour and owed him $500,000. One week after the murders, he made the bizarre decision to move to California, where he started living under a new identity. After numerous appeals, Marty was released from prison and cleared. However, police have never attempted to pursue Jerry Steuerman as a suspect and the murders of the Tankleffs remain unsolved.
