from True Crime & The Court of Public Opinion with Alexis Knight · host Alexis Knight | Facts First. Clarity Always.

Killer Grandpa Realizes He’s Been Caught 13 Years LaterOn February 28, 2000, just after 2am,   Police in Illinois received a frantic 9-1-1 call. Frank Buschauer, a chemical engineer, claimed to have discovered his wife, Cynthia Risco, dead in their bathtub. Patrol Officer Bryant Hanizewski was the first to respond, and even with the few investigations he had done… red flags were waving. Cynthia was lying dead beside the tub, which had plants, glass containers, and drinks on the edge, despite her body supposedly being frantically pulled out of it. Cynthia, who was a holistic doctor, had a lot to live for. She and Frank had adopted a son, who was less than a year old, from Russia, and he was the center of her world.But in an instant, he lost his mom… and there was no one to answer how it had happened aside from Frank. Frank was questioned for 13 hours, after which he requested counsel. From there, the case went cold.#policebodycams #bodycam #bodycamarrest #realbodycam #detectiveAlexis Knight True Crime & Chaos Podcast:  Join the Podcast and dive deeper into the chaos of real-life crime with Alexis Knight!No fluff.
