This captivating true crime series 
unravels the chilling story of four flight 
attendants brutally murdered during 
the 1970s and 1980s in Texas – Jeannie, 
Cheryl, Beverley, and Jeeta. Working for 
the same airline, their hauntingly similar 
deaths raise disturbing questions. While 
Jonathan Reed, a convicted rapist, was 
found guilty of the initial slaying, three 
subsequent murders occurred while he 
was incarcerated. 
Across four compelling episodes, the 
narrative examines whether a potentially 
erroneous conviction has incarcerated 
an innocent man for four decades while 
another malevolent culprit remains 
elusive. Expert investigators and legal 
minds from both sides meticulously 
re-examine evidence and reconstruct 
timelines. This series intimately portrays 
these women, whose lives were tragically 
disrupted and through poignant 
interactions with their bereaved families, 
the agony of enduring decades of 
uncertainty comes to light, alongside the 
daunting prospect of appeals that might 
liberate a convicted murderer. 
As modern DNA techniques and 
policing techniques come into play, the 
ultimate truth behind each woman’s 
fate is sought. Amidst a rich backdrop 
of archive footage revealing the heyday 
of American air travel, the series unveils 
the era’s newfound freedoms and 
glamour, exploring how airlines exploited 
the sexuality of their female staff for 
considerable marketing impact.
