So let's get back to the day after Ben's death.

Sam and Lindley Renick were interviewed separately by investigators, and they both had their own ideas on who had killed Ben, who would want him dead.

Which brings us to our first clue, their competing theories.

29-year-old Lindley started by telling the police about her previous day.

She claimed she worked a full day at her spa, leaving only to run a couple of small errands.

But at around 5.45 p.m., she got a call from her kids' school saying that they hadn't been picked up yet.

After getting the kids, she went to the snake house to look for her husband, Ben.

They were supposed to have a date night, and they had already booked a babysitter, so it's weird that he's just not around.

So she walks into the barn, and that's when she finds him on the floor.

She first makes a panicked call to Ben's brother, Sam, and then calls 911 at 6.36 p.m.

By this point, they've determined that Ben's time of death was around 3.45 p.m., which, according to Lindley's timeline, puts her in Columbia, Missouri, 50 miles away from the barn when Ben's death occurred.

But Lindley, she had an idea who might be responsible.

She actually thought Ben's brother, Sam, was responsible.

You see, Ben had actually inherited the entire family property after their dad's passing five years earlier in 2012.

That was the same year that Lindley and Ben welcomed their daughter.

But Sam got nothing.

Completely left out of the will, essentially.

After the wedding, Ben and Lindley jointly owned all 72 acres, no mention of a prenup, while Sam and the kids remained tenants on the family farm.

But the brothers themselves kind of had an idea why their dad would have left Sam out of the will.

Ben's snake business brought in more than enough revenue to maintain the family property and pay all of the taxes on it.
