In 2002, Declan Lyons’ body was discovered outside the restaurant he worked - he had been shot
In 2002, Declan Lyons’ body was discovered outside the restaurant he worked - he had been shot through the head. For weeks, the case went unsolved; Lyons was a popular guy and apparently had no enemies. The murder seemed motiveless. A month after the discovery, Isaac Turnbaugh, a co-worker of Lyons, admitted that he had killed Lyons after taking mushrooms at a party. He also admitted that he was behind the 9/11 attacks. Unfortunately, this was brought up during his trial and the jury believed that the confession was just the drugs talking and acquitted him.The case went unsolved until 2011, when, apparently racked with guilt, Turnbaugh handed himself into the police and confessed that he had indeed killed Lyons. Regardless of this, due to “double jeopardy” Turnbaugh cannot be tried for the same crime twice and still remains a free man. -- source link
