The Murderer Who Killed Her Mother And Best Friend _ The New Detectives

A woman discovers her mother and best friend shot dead in a locked house. No forced entry. No witnesses. The investigation centers on the last person who saw them alive. That person is her.In this episode of The New Detectives, the groundbreaking Discovery Channel series that aired from 1996 to 2004 and inspired CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, forensic experts examine a case where a daughter's grief masked a double homicide. The crime scene showed signs of staging: drawers pulled out, a window cracked, but no glass inside the room. The daughter claimed she found the bodies after returning from a short errand. Ballistics analysis proved the gunshots came from close range, not from an intruder standing at a distance. Gunshot residue on the daughter's hands was absent, but investigators discovered she had washed her hands thoroughly before police arrived. Cell phone data placed her at the scene during the time of death, contradicting her errand story. The daughter was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder. She will spend the rest of her life in prison. The mother and best friend died trusting someone they loved. That trust was her weapon and their death sentence.Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because the woman who called 911 with tears in her voice was the woman who pulled the trigger.
