What did you learn about the two of them when you first started digging?

Let's go back to the morning of the murder.

The two of them were supposed to be in church.

They didn't show up, and that was the first tip-off to people that something was wrong.

So we go back to the home.

And as I said, you know, this 911 call, police are alerted, something has happened.

And right away when we were talking about this story, a little red flag went up for me because Nick told police that there was somebody at the house that seemed somebody was trying to break into the house.

And then he comes down the stairs with his wife and he's got a gun, he's got a shotgun, and he says there was a little bit of a struggle and the gun goes off and his wife winds up getting hit and then he gets hit later.

My first thought when we were talking about this story was,

as someone, and maybe this is very old fashioned, but if my husband hears, and we hear something downstairs in a very chivalrous way, I'm going to think he's going to go down and investigate it and then tell me to go hide or stay put.

But Nick talks about bringing her downstairs with him.

And that had to be kind of strange to police right away.

What got me in this story, and we've seen this happen in a lot of these stories, too, where the person who police are sort of suspecting gives a description.

And so Nick gives them a description of this alleged intruder.

And it's a black man in his 30s who's wearing a hoodie, a very specific description of this guy.

And ultimately, you know, it does sort of pan out that there is a person who sort of fits this description, a homeless guy.

And, you know, police go to look into this and then they discover, like, there's no way.

Yeah, because otherwise he might have been picked up for this.

Yeah.

So police discovered this guy's already in jail.
