Death of a Hero

In Canton, Ohio, on January 7, 2007, 87-year-old World War II veteran and Pearl Harbor survivor Bennie Angelo was murdered in his home. His body revealed four gunshot wounds. His house was set on fire to try to eliminate evidence. The case went cold for several years until a crucial witness stepped forward and obtained a confession from the killer, Chester Ray Crank. Crank's trial began in 2014 and he was found guilty by the jury. He was sentenced to "life in prison with no possibility of parole."
