Episode 493: The Feeney Family Murders

On February 27, 1995, Cheryl Feeney, her 6‑year‑old son Tyler, and 18‑month‑old daughter Jennifer were found murdered inside their Springfield, Missouri home. The house appeared ransacked, though investigators later questioned whether the scene had been staged. At the time of the murders, Jon Feeney, their husband and father was attending a teachers’ conference at Lake of the Ozarks. Despite his alibi, he became the prime suspect, and investigators spent over a year building a circumstantial case involving alleged financial motives, extramarital affairs, and claims of a staged crime scene. Jon was indicted in April 1996 and went to trial that September. On October 5, 1996, Jon Feeney was acquitted on all counts. The case remains officially unsolved and continues to be one of Missouri’s most debated family‑murder investigations. Click here to join our Patreon. Click here to get your own Inhuman merch.
