This dark journey into American adolescence reveals why a Tampa teen killed her mother.

• Hear from investigators and attorneys who worked the case.
• Hosted by Bill Kurtis.
• Trace the tragic relationship between Vicki and Valessa Robinson.

It's a scenario every parent fears: a teenage daughter hanging out with older guys, doing drugs and having sex. Single mother Vicki Robinson struggled to contain her daughter Valessa, and their clash eventually was transformed into tragedy.

AMERICAN JUSTICE® examines the relationship between a mother and daughter to try to see why a young girl would take part in her mother's brutal death. On June 27th, 1998, Vicki Robinson missed an early morning appointment with her best friend and an afternoon date with her boyfriend. That evening, the boyfriend called police, launching an investigation that ended with Valessa's arrest for murder. But was she responsible for the brutal crime, or was she a victim herself? DAUGHTER DEAREST speaks with those closest to the case to find out.
