Strange family situation, involving adoption and new family members!?

Strange family situation, involving adoption and new family members!?
My biological parents had drug problems, so bad that I was adopted by my paternal grandfather when I was 4. I never knew that my "dad" was my "grandfather" until I was about 12, because my "mom" freaked out and never let my other family members near me or know anything about me. After "dad" and "mom" were divorced when I was 13, I was able to meet my biological father, my half brother, my uncles, and my grandma on his side of the family. When I was 15, I met a ton of people on my mom's side: grandma, 2 half sisters, 3 aunts, 1 uncle and a bazillion cousins. My mom died when I was 7, which of course I knew nothing about. It turns out that my mom had been "at the wrong place at the wrong time" and was beaten and shot to death. There were a lot of strange circumstances with her death which leads my family to believe that it was an inside job, since there was a huge lack of police involvement and paperwork. At first they tried to pass it off as a suicide, but with the angle that the bullet entered her body it would've been impossible for her to kill herself. She had 3 autopsies done. It seems as if everyone has a different view on what happened with my adoption and mom's death. Some people know more than others, and some know details that are much different than the other stories I've heard. My biological dad has agreed to go with me to the court house.. my adoption documents have been sealed, and apparently I'm the only one that can access them. AND... today I got a friend request on facebook from one of my mom's cousins on her dad's side. I haven't met anyone from that side of her family yet and I talked to her online. She seems very nice and told me a few stories about my mom when she was younger. Questions: One of my sisters and I were talking about having our mom's case put on Cold Case Files or some other forensic show in case anyone has any information about her death. How can we do this, and how do we discuss it with other members of our family without upsetting them? How, other than reading my adoption information, can I figure out what really happened with my adoption? Any advice is appreciated.
