On December 23, 1989, in the quiet desert outskirts of Mesa, Arizona, a young woman's life was tragically cut short.

A woman who had been swept up by romance and a whirlwind marriage, became the victim of a cold-blooded conspiracy orchestrated by her own husband and his older brother.

What followed was a long legal battle, with Cindy’s family, particularly her younger sister Kathy, fighting tirelessly for justice.

This week we discuss: Murder, Motive, Appeals, Insurance Fraud
