Could you forgive your mother's killer?

Widow Frances Worthington, 77, lived a quiet life in her South Knoxville home. Then a killer busted in on New Year’s Eve 1995.

What that person did was horrendous – wrecking her home, bludgeoning her, sprinkling coins and mini chocolates around her body, violating her with a wine bottle.

How her family responded was remarkable. They forgive whoever committed this still-unsolved murder.
