ABC 20/20 Episode features Houston singer/songwriter, Jennifer Grassman
Most Houstonians will remember the tragic quadruple murder of four Clear Lake teenagers on July 18, 2003. It was a case that generated the largest information reward fund in Crime Stoppers history, and put Clear Lake, Texas (a rather quiet, middle class, Houston community) under the microscope of the national media.
Tiffany Rowell, 18, Adelbert Sanchez, 21, Marcus Precella, 19, and Rachael Koloroutis, 18, were having pizza and watching TV when two intruders broke into the house and brutally killed them, seemingly without motive or provocation. Family, friends, and police desperately sought answers, but no answers could be found. Now, six years later, the case is finally closed.
At the request of the parents of Rachael Koloroutis, Jennifer Grassman recently interviewed with ABC’s 20/20. Having been Rachael’s friend, Jennifer’s roll was to depict Rachael’s character and the events leading up to that day from a personal perspective. Jennifer’s song, White Roses, was inspired by her sorrow at Rachael’s passing.
The 20/20 episode featuring Jennifer’s interview, and covering the case which had investigators baffled for years, will air on Friday, September 25, at 9PM Central Time on ABC. Please check your local listings to verify the time and find your local station.
In honor of Rachael, now through November 5, you can download an MP3 of White Roses at www.JenniferGrassman.com. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to CRIME STOPPERS in Rachael’s memory. Thank you so much for your generous support.
