Sean Grissom was an 8-year-old boy from Shreveport, Louisiana, who was killed on November 4, 1989. He was found with his aunt Julie Grissom and his grandfather William Tom Grissom when help arrived on November 6; investigators concluded the violent attack occurred as the family sat down to dinner on November 4. The delay between the killings and discovery intensified the shock to the neighborhood.

Early suspicion focused on Hal Carter, a Shreveport attorney who had recently ended a relationship with Julie; Carter later said he felt like the prime suspect, but he was not arrested and police records later placed him in Atlanta at the time of the murders. Attention eventually turned to Danny Rolling, a former Shreveport resident convicted for the 1990 Gainesville, Florida murders. Investigators say Rolling passed knowledge of the Shreveport crime only the killer could have known, and he provided a detailed written confession in 1997 and another signed confession shortly before his October 2006 execution, in which he took sole responsibility and said Hal Carter was innocent. Louisiana authorities prepared an arrest warrant for Rolling but never signed it, and he was never prosecuted in Louisiana.

Does anyone have additional information about the Grissom family or that November 1989 night that could help clarify unanswered details?
