The
Hi-Fi murders were the killings of three people during an armed
robbery at a
home audio store called the Hi-Fi Shop in
Ogden, Utah, on April 22, 1974. Five people had been held hostage and tortured, but two survived with severe injuries. All were bound and forced to drink
Drano. One victim had an inkpen stomped into his ear, and a teenage girl was repeatedly
raped before being flung face-down on the floor and shot in the head. The crime became notorious for the violence inflicted against the victims and accusations of
racial bias in the Utah judiciary.
