A Crime to Remember is a true crime documentary series that employs a combination of reenactments, first-person accounts, and archival footage to retell some of America's most heinous and infamous crimes from the 1950s and 60s. In season 5 episode 6, titled "Black Sheep," viewers are taken back to a time where the luxury cars, power, and grandeur of Palm Beach seemed ill-fitting with the small-town, working-class roots of Joseph Elwell.

As a young man, Joseph had left his simple life in Brooklyn and worked his way up the social ladder to become a wealthy bachelor about town in Palm Beach. He made a name for himself by playing bridge, with a reputation as a brilliant strategist. His wealth and connections gave him access to the crème de la crème of Palm Beach society, and he spent his days hobnobbing with the most elite members of the community. But while Joseph may have been living the high life, something in his past was haunting him.

On June 11, 1920, as Joseph was playing bridge in his mansion with a group of friends, a gunshot rang out, and he was found dead. His friends and the police were at a loss—how had someone gotten into the room undetected? Who stood to gain from his murder? And why was he killed? As the investigation unfolds, a much darker picture of Joseph emerges.

The investigation takes detectives from his friends in Palm Beach to his estranged wife of ten years who lives across the country. A woman who, according to Palm Beach high society, simply wasn't good enough for Joseph. With Joseph’s death shrouded in mystery, the case will leave viewers on the edge of their seats as they learn more about a man with a dark past and how it may have caused his untimely end.

As with all episodes of A Crime to Remember, "Black Sheep" draws on original newspaper headlines, archival footage, and interviews with family members, law enforcement officials, and historians to reconstruct the events that led to Joseph Elwell's shocking demise. And while his death may have been violent, it’s the intimate details of his life, lies, and scandal that will stick with viewers long after the episode is over.
