In 2010 when Heidi was murdered, I was a patrol officer and I worked in the district that she was killed in.
And so I was aware of the crime from day one.
I heard about it from other responding officers who talked about how the scene did not make sense.
The case always bothered me because the circumstances didn't seem to fit what happened.
A burglar broke into an occupied house and there was a struggle and the wife dies.
Oh wait, they're being evicted the next day?
Heidi was killed in the place she should have been safest.
And with a person who should have kept her safe.
As the details piled on, I wanted to know what I didn't know.
I think there was always a frustration within the department that this case couldn't be solved.
It's easier to accept a story than believe that the people around you are monsters.
