It's been fifteen years since Judy Conley said good night to her son, then woke up to the news that he'd been murdered in his bed. Curtis Francis was gunned down alongside his fiancé, Jennifer Burgette.

No suspect has been named in the case, but there's lots of speculation in this rural Ohio community.

The discovery of a well at the home where Francis was last seen, uncovered two weapons. Those weapons were lost when the fire department, working with police to recover the guns, blew out the bottom of the well. Investigative Reporter Jody Barr found a statement in another murder case, where the suspect offered information in exchange for a deal in his case. That information has not come into play in solving the Hopper Road murders.
