But as the family began to catch their breath and process Melissa's death, they slowly started comparing notes about Bruno's version of what happened and his behavior before and after the shooting.

And a case for murder began to unfold.

I just couldn't justify any of his stories.

The daughters of Melissa and Bruno Recuba say they grew up believing they had the ideal family.

The couple met in the summer of 1988.

Back then, Melissa, who was just 19 years old, was a police officer.

Bruno, 22, was enlisted in the Navy.

And what did you think of Bruno when you met him?

I loved him.

He seemed to love my sister.

She was an amazing mom.

And Bruno was a great dad, says Sabrina.

When I was really young, I wanted to cut my hair to be like my dad.

Like, that's how close we were.

But as the girls grew older and became parents themselves, they say they began to see flaws in their parents' marriage.

Two weeks before the shooting, Chelsea says her mother shared a startling secret about something Bruno had done to her.

She took me for a ride in the car and told me, you know, that he had pulled a gun on her before.

Why would she tell me this now?

She's never said a bad word about him before, and all of a sudden it was, Chelsea, I just need you to know that, like, your dad's not always who you think he is.

Chelsea admits that she had a bad feeling about her mother's shooting from the start, but stayed silent for the sake of her father.
