January 16th, 2009 was just like any other day for Linda Bonner. She got up, went to work, and likely thought anything more about it. Her husband, Franklin Bonner, was home, though, as he was retired from his job with the City of Chattanooga. When Linda returned home from work that evening, she walked into something from a nightmare. Her home was ransacked and Franklin was lying on the ground bound with duct tape and he was unresponsive. It took nine years for any arrests to be made in the case and when the Bonner family finally thought they had justice, the conviction was reversed and the case remains open.
