Episode Description from the Publisher

In June 2006, a 17-year-old spends the evening volunteering with a local haunted house before making plans to spend the next day at the lake with friends. But when those friends arrive to pick him up the following morning, they find the back door of his home kicked in and discover him shot to death in his bedroom. Investigators quickly determine that the killing was targeted, yet they can't identify a motive, a suspect, or even a reason why someone would want the well-liked teenager dead. In episode 411, Jac and Alexis examine the murder of Jeremy "Scotty" Cockrell, the decades-long investigation that followed, and the questions that still haunt his family, friends, and community.
