On the night of Sept. 21, 2001, Sherri Malarik’s home was bustling with activity. The Navy air traffic controller was hosting a family sleepover with pizza, video games and a large group of kids that included her own — her blended family had five — and her sister’s.

At one point, Malarik, 34, stepped outside. She never returned.

The next morning, her body was found inside the family’s Dodge minivan in a parking lot just outside Pensacola, Florida. She’d been shot twice with a .25-caliber gun.

Nearly two decades passed before there was an arrest in Malarik’s killing. In two first-degree murder trials that followed, prosecutors failed to convict the suspect, her husband.

The first trial against Greg Malarik, now 61, ended in a hung jury, and when he stood trial again last year, he was acquitted.
