When Murder is NOT a Crime~The Unsolved Murder of Race Car Driver Chris Trickle

When Murder is NOT a Crime~The Unsolved Murder of Race Car Driver Chris Trickle

On February 9, 1997, 24-year-old race car driver, Chris Trickle, left his home in Las Vegas around 9 p.m. to play tennis with a friend at a lighted court.  As he drove over the freeway, a car drove alongside him and fired shots into his convertible car hitting him between the eyes. He landed in a coma, leading to a slow rehabilitation, but died from complications of his wounds on March 25, 1998, 409 days after the shooting.  Even if his murder is solved, the killer will not be charged.  The only justice in this case has been Chris's parents changing the ‘year and a day’ rule in Nevada.  Race car driver, Quentin Haley, joins us for this special unsolved episode!
