    • Synopsis
    • On November 17, 1978, Jayne, Mark, Ruth and
      Danny were working the night shift at the local
      Burger Chef in Speedway, Indiana. Around
      midnight police were called to the restaurant
      after it was found abandoned, the lights on, back
      door open and the tills empty on the floor. Police
      dismissed the evidence, accusing the employees
      of taking the money to party. They allowed the
      restaurant to be cleaned, and the following
      morning it was business as usual.

      The next day four bodies were discovered in a
      wooded area 30 miles away and the race to find
      out who killed Jayne, Mark, Ruth and Danny was
      on. Forty years later, there hasn’t been a single
      arrest made, or charge laid.

      SPEEDWAY digs deep to shed new light onto one
      of America’s most baffling unsolved cases; the
      bungled evidence and myriad theories of how and
      why four young employees were kidnapped and
      brutally slain over forty years ago
