Jake Emmerich's daughter, Rachel, kept saying over and over again, are you sure?

Are you sure?

We're talking less than an hour at that point.

How could you definitively say at that point that this is a suicide?

There'd been no autopsy, the body hadn't been transported.

On law enforcement and on what Susan Embert told police.

Jake Embert was cremated the next day.

You didn't think his body needed another look, didn't need any more testing, any more anything?

Was that a mistake?

Now, a month and a half later, private investigator Lee Wilson was at the Doherty County Police Department picking up those photos from the scene.

I'm waiting on the receipt for my payment, and I start flipping through the photographs.

It wasn't much, but Lee was noticing things he thought investigators had missed.

You got a problem.

I knew that scene had been manipulated.

He took us through those photos on an iPad.

What immediately stands out to you, if you can show me?

So you're thinking, how would the gun have gotten under his leg?

Yeah.

Lee knew that with a self-inflicted gunshot to the head, there likely would have been blood on Jake's hand, but none was visible.

Lee also noted the state of the bed around Jake.
