The Promise: Finding My Mother's Killer

How far would you go to get justice for the ones you love? This is the incredible true story of one woman’s quest to find her mother’s killer, clear her father’s name and fulfill a promise. On the morning of May 1st 1989 Effie Entezari was gunned down in the parking lot outside her apartment building in Vancouver, Washington. Found slumped in between two vehicles, she had been killed instantly by a single bullet to the head. Despite his protestations of innocence and zero physical evidence, her estranged husband Mike was convicted of her murder and sentenced to 25 years in prison. But their daughter Pooneh would not believe it. And even when everybody doubted her, she never stopped believe in her father’s innocence. A devastating miscarriage of justice. A life’s work to find the real killer. A damning expose of police failings. The American dream turned into a nightmare.
