An open door, a “confession”, and a bloody fingerprint.

On April 17th, 1994, 19-year-old Tina Livernash Heins was found brutally murdered in her apartment in Mayport, Florida.

Tina was a newlywed and four months pregnant at the time. Her husband, Jeremy Heins was serving in the Navy and on duty on the USS Leyte Gulf the night his wife was murdered.

That left Tina alone in the apartment with her brother-in-law, Chad Heins. Chad claimed he was feet away asleep on the couch when someone came in, murdered Tina, and set fires in the apartment.

Chad Heins was convicted of Tina’s murder and sentenced to life in prison. However, evidence, both new and old, came to light that changed everything.

In June of 2023 police were called to the 500 block of Clubb Road in Kernersville, North Carolina for a report of a break-in and shooting.

When officers arrived, they found 65-year-old Debbie Fink murdered in her own home.

Her 25-year-old son, Donald Fink, told police someone had broken in and shot his mother, but there was far more to the story.
