Echoes of Torreón

Coming Soon

A family found murdered. Two members of a local gang confess. A rush to trial.

In the mountains of New Mexico, a young couple and two children are found executed in a remote cabin. The public wants answers. Prosecutors want convictions. And four teenagers from Albuquerque's South Valley are charged with capital murder.

But this is only the beginning.

Echoes of Torreón is a true crime story based on courtroom transcripts, witness testimony, and the firsthand account of a local defense attorney who stood between a broken system and the death penalty.
