The plane had crashed. Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper had been laid to rest. But the story of The Day the Music Died is far from over.

In the fourth and final part of our series, we look at everything that came after February 1959: the investigation into the crash, the questions that lingered, the families and loved ones left behind, and the strange rumors and theories that started to spread around one of the most infamous tragedies in music history.
