(WSBT) Neighbors in one Michiana community finally have closure. In 1989, four members of the Pelley family were shot and killed in their Lakeville home.

The person accused of pulling the trigger was a 17-year-old Jeff Pelley, upset with his father for limiting his prom activities. Now, 17 years later, Jeff Pelley is heading to jail after a jury found him guilty of killing his father, stepmother, and two stepsisters.

And concerned neighbors in Lakeville are free to move on. People there remember that day all too well. "It was a lot of days when you didn't sleep very well at night," Randy Brackett says. "You were worried that someone would break in. It was a nervous time."

But people there say they had a feeling who was behind it. And that person was Jeff Pelley.
