Friends 'Til the Bitter End // 100

78-year-old Arthur Brown and 66-year-old David McKoy were close friends and beloved members of their community. But when both turned up dead after an apparent robbery gone wrong, police followed a trail that led them to another set of lifelong friends – perpetrators whose toxic association had put them on the path to murder.
