About this episode
This true crime case examines the controversial shooting death of Peter Spencer, a Jamaican immigrant who was killed during a camping trip in rural Pennsylvania. Investigators concluded the shooter acted in self-defense after an armed confrontation, and no criminal charges were filed. However, Spencer's family strongly disputes that conclusion, arguing the evidence tells a different story and continuing to seek justice. In this episode, we break down the timeline, the witness statements, the forensic evidence, and the unanswered questions at the center of one of Pennsylvania's most debated homicide cases.
