On September 25th, 1993, 31-year-old nightclub owner Robert O’Dubaine was shot and killed in cold blood in the garage of his Chicago home. Investigators first believed it to be a random carjacking, but as they delved deeper they realized this was a targeted killing. As they uncovered more about Robert’s relationship with his girlfriend, Catherine Suh, and her brother Andrew, a picture emerged of past sins and a sense of family duty that ultimately led to Robert’s demise.
