It looks like a simple robbery gone horribly wrong when Donald and Marsha Levine are found dead inside their Munster, Indiana Mansion. But why then did the "robbers" leave the Levine's only son, Mark, alive? And why was Mark blaming the murder on his shady Uncle Robert? There are skeletons in most family's closets, but investigators soon discover that the Levine's are harboring a whole graveyard full in theirs.
When Bruce and Darlene Rouse are murdered in their sprawling estate, they leave their entire fortune to their three children - three children who quickly become three suspects. Robin Rouse swears that her brothers Kurt and Billy did it, but police have just as much reason to believe she was the one behind the brutal murders. The sordid saga finally comes to a close when Billy, who's been circling the drain since squandering his entire inheritance on the high life, confesses to the murder after police catch him robbing a bank.
On a May evening in 1998, the seemingly idyllic marriage of a wealthy Lake Tahoe couple, Peter and Rinette Bergna, ended in a tangled crush of metal when their truck crashed through a guardrail and plunged down a mountainside. Peter miraculously escaped serious injury, but Rinette was found crushed to death. While Peter called it a tragic accident, investigators called it a brutal, premeditated crime and spent two and a half years building their case against Bergna, whom they believed was a cunning, cold-blooded killer.
