Timeline

Ewell's parents had substantial investments in the stock market and local farmland. Though the family was financially well off, the elder Ewells lived a relatively modest lifestyle and avoided flaunting their wealth, which was estimated at $7-8 million (equivalent to about $12.5 to $14 million in 2017).

The case is covered in the Forensic Files episode "Two in a Million" (season 11, episode 40, aired April 18, 2007), The New Detectives episode "Family Plots" (season 5, episode 9, aired January 25, 2000) and the Dominick Dunne's Power, Privilege, and Justice episode "Tailspin" (season 3, episode 5, aired September 5, 2003). City Confidential ("Fatal Inheritance"), American Justice ("Millions of Reasons to Kill"), and Solved also did episodes on the case. In Ice Cold Blood also aired an episode about the case (“Deadly Greed” season 2, episode 14, aired June 3, 2019). The series Behind Mansion Walls covered the case in "The Perfect Crime" (season 1, episode 2, aired on June 13, 2011.

Jurors deliberated for eleven days. Although they considered Ponce's testimony unreliable and suspected he was more involved with the murders than he admitted, they found Ewell and Radovcich both guilty of three counts of first degree murder. The murderers were subject to stricter sentencing due to aggravating circumstances: multiple victims, murder for profit, and lying in wait. Though facing a potential death sentence, both avoided that fate. They were sentenced on July 20, 1998 to life sentences without the possibility of parole. All appeals have been denied.

Forensic analysis found the murder weapon was a high-end 9mm specialty rifle manufactured by Feather Industries in Trinidad, Colorado. Company records showed one such rifle had been purchased by Ernest Jack Ponce, a friend of the Radovcich family, shortly before the murders. Ponce admitted buying the rifle for Radovcich, but denied knowing it would be used for a crime. Ponce had further concealed evidence after the murders, making him an accessory. He was granted immunity from prosecution and agreed to testify against Ewell and Radovcich, who were arrested in early 1995.

Joel Patrick Radovcich, a college friend of Ewell's, abruptly dropped out of school shortly after the murders and also came under suspicion. Ewell was described as being obsessed with money and social status, while Radovcich was preoccupied with guns and explosives. Ewell had come under suspicion only days after the murders when Curtice had walked him through the crime scene and thought his reactions highly unusual, later recalling his impressions as "that kid's dirty." Dana and Radovcich attracted additional suspicion by both occupying the Ewell family home only a few weeks after the murders. The pair were soon reported making many cash purchases such as helicopter flight lessons (despite Radovcich being unemployed) and communicating via a complex system of pagers and pay telephone calls, seemingly designed to avoid being overheard. The police kept Ewell and Radovcich under close surveillance for several months. In one instance, a detective wore a recording device and stood close to Radovcich at a pay phone in May 1993, overhearing him make comments such as "they don't have evidence. They will try to catch you in a lie."

Dale, Glee and Tiffany Ewell were murdered on Sunday, April 19, 1992, in their home near Fresno. At the time of the murders, Ewell lived at the family home but was away with his girlfriend for the Easter weekend. The bodies were discovered two days after the murders, when Ewell notified family friends in Sunnyside that he was unable to contact his parents.

During Ewell's time at college, he had been attributing his father's accomplishments to himself and was posing as a wealthy entrepreneur when he actually had no such experience. A Santa Clara newspaper and SCU's yearbook both had printed stories on Ewell in 1990, depicting him as "a self-made millionaire" who was enjoying the luxuries afforded by his nonexistent business success. After learning about Ewell's lies, his parents modified their estate plan. Extended family believed that Dale Ewell planned on ending his financial support for his son after his college graduation, a possible motive for the murders.

Dana James Ewell (born January 28, 1971 in Sunnyside, California) is a convicted American murderer who was sentenced to three life sentences for ordering the killing of his father, mother, and sister in 1992.

After the murders, police spent four days at the Ewell home investigating the crime scene. The case was investigated by Fresno County Sheriff's Office homicide detectives John Souza and Chris Curtice. They suspected the killer was hiding in the house waiting for the family to return. Glee Ewell was shot four times while Tiffany and Dale Ewell were each shot once. The murders had seemingly been planned and executed with care, such as when the shooter took discarded shell casings after firing the fatal gunshots. The shooter's aim was good, missing only once while firing multiple shots. A box of 9mm shells, purchased by Dale Ewell in the early 1970s, was found in the home and were believed to have been used to kill the family. The bullets recovered from the victims' bodies showed signs of the gun having been fitted with a homemade silencer. While the home appeared to have been searched for valuables, Souza (with extensive experience investigating burglaries) concluded the scene was staged in an attempt to make the murders appear as if the family had interrupted a thief.

Police looked into the victims' background and found possible motives for the crime. In the 1970s, Dale Ewell had sold airplanes for a California man named Frank Lambe who had been convicted for drug smuggling, after which Dale took over the business. Dale Ewell had also been involved in a troubled real estate development deal with his brother Ben, which threatened to cost investors millions in losses. Investigation ruled out these factors as possible motives for the murders.

Dana Ewell was the younger of two children born to Dale Alan (b. 1932) and Glee Ethel Ewell (b. 1935). Dale Ewell was a United States Air Force veteran turned multi-millionaire businessman who specialized in the sale of small airplanes with his company, Western Piper Sales, Inc. Glee had devoted much of her life to philanthropy and public service, briefly acting as a Spanish translator for the CIA in the 1950s and later holding a seat at the State Bar of California committee that evaluated prospective judges. Ewell's sister Tiffany Ann (b. 1967), a few weeks shy of her 25th birthday at the time of her death, was a graduate student, while Ewell himself had earned a finance degree from Santa Clara University (SCU).
