Killed by Karma?

Mel Ignatow was a Kentucky man whose name became infamous after one of the most shocking murder cases in Louisville’s history. In 1988, he brutally murdered his ex-girlfriend, Brenda Sue Schaefer, but initially walked free after being acquitted of the crime. Years later, hidden photos of the murder were discovered in a vent in his former home, proving his guilt beyond question. Because of double jeopardy laws, Ignatow couldn’t be retried for the murder, though he later served time for perjury related to the case. The story is often cited as one of the biggest failures of the American justice system. Ignatow’s crime, confession, and eventual death in 2008 left behind a legacy of horror, disbelief, and moral outrage.
