but his family confirmed he drove a white plymouth horizon.the same type of car an eyewitness had seen fleeing the scene. >> that was important, to be able to make that connection? >> right. because the linchpin is that these guys were in a white omni, omni horizon. they're the same car basically. >> then one by one, they did find them. the kids now 40-something, who had been in the car, heard the very same things john hielscher told them. this man, john korver was riding in the front passenger seat and he confirmed the story. >> you can just see it dawn on his face that two guys have been sitting in jail for nearly 25 years. >> the woman who was a high school senior was dating one of the men in the car confirmed she saw it too. though getting her to talk was no easy task. but none was more reluctant than that young man who walked up the drive to the back door with john hielscher and fled down again in terror when a shot was fired. why wouldn't he talk about it? >> pretty much all of our witnesses grew up in fairly wealthy, well to do families
