In , Mary Ann Clibbery was found brutally murdered in her Illinois business and investigators had to determine if this was a robbery gone wrong or a calculated murder. The evidence at the scene told police what happened and they got a huge break when evidence from the murder was found on top of a nearby frozen river.
The investigation focused on the business co-owner George Hansen when police found that he was embezzling from the company and that evidence in the bag also pointed to him. In , Texas real estate agent Sarah Anne Walker was found dead in a model home. Weeks later, a witness came forward who may have seen the killer and police used forensic hypnosis to help him recall every detail of the man's appearance.
His description was used to create a composite sketch, which police used to draw the killer Kosoul Chanthakoummane out of hiding. In , year-old Jason MacLennan returned home after a night out with friends and discovered his widowed father Ken's body lying in a pool of blood. There were shoe impressions outside in the new-fallen snow; because the victim's wallet and watch were missing, the motive may have been robbery.
But before making that determination, police needed to find out who had the most to gain from his death. In the end, it is discovered that Jason killed his father with a friend's help, because when Jason's mother died, his father was away on business, and Jason blamed him for his mother's death. In , Nevada politician Kathy Augustine died mysteriously during a hard-fought re-election campaign and the medical examiner could neither isolate the cause of death, nor explain the tiny puncture wounds discovered during the autopsy.
