High 'n' Dry
When a woman was found dead in her bathroom, the evidence pointed to suicide. But a coroner’s inquest and a unique application of forensic science gave investigators a different explanation for her death. It was a theory which, if true, could turn the grieving husband into the prime suspect.

Naughty or Nyce
The woman could have lost control of her SUV on the icy road, and plunged down an embankment into a shallow creek.

Shattered Dreams
A car was found in a drainage ditch and the bodies of a man and woman were inside; both had been shot to death.
