About this audiobook
In October 2000, Andrew Cataldi and Tricia Nordman were found murdered inside their Indianapolis home. The investigation soon led authorities to Sarah Jo Pender and her boyfriend, Richard Hull, beginning a criminal case that would ultimately result in Pender's conviction and a 110-year prison sentence.Pender has maintained that she was not responsible for the murders, while prosecutors presented evidence that they argued connected her to the killings. The case became even more complicated as questions surrounding the evidence, witness testimony, and events surrounding the investigation continued to receive attention years after her conviction.Then, in 2008, Pender made headlines around the country for a completely different reason. While serving her sentence at Rockville Correctional Facility, she escaped from prison with the assistance of a correctional officer. Her disappearance triggered a nationwide search that lasted for more than four months before she was captured in Chicago.But her recapture did not end the story.In the years that followed, Pender continued challenging her conviction and arguing that important aspects of her case had not been properly considered. Questions surrounding a jailhouse informant, disputed evidence, and the changing views of people connected to the original prosecution added new layers to a case that had already captured public attention.Sarah Jo Pender follows the complete timeline—from the Indianapolis murders and the investigation, to the trial and conviction, the extraordinary prison escape and nationwide manhunt, and the continuing legal battle that followed.What happened on the night Andrew Cataldi and Tricia Nordman were killed? How did Pender manage to escape from a secure correctional facility? And why has her conviction remained the subject of debate more than two decades later?
