In early 2018, a woman in her 50s stood in her Austin, Texas bedroom doorway firing shots from her .357 revolver into the dark kitchen in front of her. Someone in the kitchen fired back at her and bullets tore through the house as she aimed at shadows but missed. When her gun finally emptied, she fled to her closet to hide. Later, detectives found a chaotic scene in the kitchen, bullet casings everywhere, a middle-aged man dead on the floor, and a handgun near his hand. The woman claimed intruders had broken in, killed her husband, and fled when she opened fire. Detectives, however, began to suspect that the scene was staged to cover up something darker, possibly a wife killing her husband.

On the evening of March 1st, 2018, 55-year-old Ted Shaughnessy placed a necklace in a glass display case in his high-end jewelry store in Austin, Texas. Ted adjusted his glasses on his face and then leaned in a bit closer, and he saw the lights in the case bounce off the gold and jewels in this necklace, and it was so beautiful, he just smiled. He and his wife, Corey, had owned this jewelry store for 20 years. Corey had a keen eye for jewelry, so she worked as the appraiser, choosing which pieces to buy and then sell inside of the store, and also determining how much they were worth. And Ted was a great salesman. Ted took pride in the way he displayed the jewelry in the store. He wanted to draw the customers in, and then once they were there, Ted would approach them like they were lifelong friends. Now, part of the reason he did this was just because it was an effective sales tactic. But also, Ted really did love meeting and talking with people who came in to shop off the street. That's actually one of the reasons he'd worked in retail for most of his adult life.
