They were young.

And then a few years later, they got married and bought a house together and began what looked like it was going to be a bright future.

But that future was cut short on the morning of April 25th, 2010, after Heidi frantically makes a 911 call to authorities to report someone she said was an intruder in her home.

Well, police get to the scene and Heidi is lying dead on the floor in a doorway at the back of the house.

Nick is also suffering from a gunshot wound to his leg.

He survives.

And of course, you can only imagine the community is stunned.

And it would take 10 years before police would finally make an arrest in the case.

And in the process,

they began to unravel something we just couldn't believe, an investigation that proved that you really never truly know what's going on behind closed doors.

As I mentioned, I went to St.

Paul to dig into this story, to visit the crime scene, to talk to detectives who wouldn't give up on this case.

But most important, Nick's second wife, Rachel, the woman who knew him pretty well and met him just a few months after his wife's murder,

And then they got married.

Then she actually wound up helping police crack this case in the most devastating way.

You may have seen it on our episode on 2020, but today there are portions of this story that we're going to bring to you that you did not get a chance to see or to hear.

There's some secret recordings that you have not heard before.

And we're going to tell you all about them and how authorities were able to track down Heidi's killer.

It's a lot to untangle.

And who better to help me do it than 2020 producer Brooke Stanglin.
