Mum of 4, Sandra Phillips, took a job as a sex shop manager to support her family. On the 14th June 1985, the area manager attended the shop at 2pm and was surprised to find it closed. When he opened the door of the shop, his surprise turned to horror as the body of Sandra Phillips laid there surrounded by magazines and videos. She had been sexually assaulted and then strangled. Two brothers would be arrested and one would confess but not everything is as it seems.
