On April 22, 1974, a brutal attack that resulted in the murders of three people and caused permanent damage to two others who were tortured changed the town of Ogden, Utah, forever. They occurred at the Hi-Fi Shop, a local electronics store, when at least two men entered, attacked the people inside, and proceeded to torture them before killing three of them. Dubbed the Hi-Fi Murders, the grisly killings rocked the state and the nation, and the sentencing of those responsible would go on to be controversial, prompting accusations of racial bias in the Utah justice system.
