S12 E28 - Jordan Wheeler - Her Last Call Saved Her Children

Jordan Wheeler did everything experts tell victims of domestic violence to do. She left the relationship.  She filed for divorce.  She answered her frightened son's phone call.  She called 911.  She got her children to safety. Yet on that October night in Clinton Township, Michigan, Jordan Wheeler was murdered inside the home she once shared with her husband, Steven Bryce Wheeler. This is not a story about the man who took a life. It is the story of the woman whose life mattered.
