This Lincoln woman was stuck in an abusive relationship. Hear how she escaped.

A decade ago, the Journal Star produced Presumed Guilty, an eight-day series telling the story of a 1985 murder in Beatrice — and the troubled investigation that led to the wrongful conviction of six men and women.

The group known as the Beatrice 6 collectively spent more than 70 years in prison before new DNA testing exonerated them in 2008.

The botched investigation and wrongful convictions resulted in a judgment of more than $28 million that still looms over the heads of Gage County taxpayers and continues to make headlines to this day.

The Journal Star’s award-winning 2009 series walked readers through the crime and its aftermath — from the rape and murder of Helen Wilson in her downtown Beatrice apartment to the day in 2008, when the last member of the Beatrice 6 walked out of prison to freedom.

Starting on Sunday, the Journal Star revisits this important story in a new way. 

Sunday: A murder, then the trail goes cold.

Monday: A persistent detective turns up the heat on a cold case.

Tuesday: From prosecution to prison.

Wednesday: A case crumbles, and the Beatrice 6 go free.

Thursday: Where the case is and where it's been, through the eyes of two journalists.
