It begins, as we said, it was a chilling story in a very chilling community.

It was in Bismarck, North Dakota.

And you open the show with firefighters responding to a burning house just outside Bismarck.

They find a 42-year-old man named Chad Enzel, who had died,

He was found at the home that he shared with his wife, Nikki.

And, you know, most folks just saw this as a tragedy in the very beginning, right?

and that that may have been the cause of the fire yeah and so everybody sort of thinks that and they just think that this is just a real tragedy and and how sad and then when investigators hit the scene and they bring a canine dog on the scene things start to change the dog notices the smell of something and this starts an investigation into something deeper things looked kind of suspicious inside the house

Yeah, and it doesn't take much oftentimes for police to get that sort of sixth sense that something else is amiss.

So they think that this guy died in the fire, and then they discover that he had actually died from gunshot wounds.

And then there was more to this whole accelerant business.

There was more in the basement, evidence of another fire.

So suddenly this thing is looking very suspicious.

And she, Nikki, is beginning to look a little suspicious.

Yeah, you said this is a small community.

There's shock in the community.

There's a feeling of betrayal.

They start looking at some surveillance, some security footage that they've seen, and they show Nikki walking around town with another guy and clearly having an affair.

So once again, the radar goes off for them about her and what potentially could be her involvement.

Now tell us about this couple because by all accounts, you know, they were, you know, a nice enough, happy enough couple.

And then, of course, they now discover that she's having an affair, which automatically for police will set off some warning bells of something.
