In the aftermath of Tom Wales’s murder, investigators faced a troubling reality: the killing of a federal prosecutor just weeks after 9/11 risked being lost in the chaos of a nation at war. In Part 2, Murder: True Crime Stories follows the decades-long investigation marked by missed opportunities, unreliable informants, anonymous confessions, and a single suspect who remained just beyond the reach of prosecution. As the FBI pursues theories involving revenge, contract killers, and organized crime, this episode explores how Tom’s case became one of the most haunting unsolved murders in American legal history—and why justice remains elusive more than 20 years later.
