Episode 255: Deadly First Date

The night before Thanksgiving 2021, Leslie Reeves and Chris Smith went on their first date after hitting it off online. The next day, friends and family became increasingly anxious when they couldn’t reach either one of the pair. Leslie’s best friend Nanette Stuiber was so worried she showed up to Chris Smith’s home, which was when she and one of Chris’s concerned loved ones discovered something was very wrong inside the house. When authorities arrived they found the glass on the back door had been shattered, there had been a struggle, and both Chris and Leslie had been shot. Leslie had been murdered and Chris was clinging to life. Investigators needed to piece together what could have happened in the hours leading up to the discovery of this grizzly crime scene.
