but nothing would ever actually happen. [Music] Dan, I know this is hard, but when when
00:00:27
is the last time that you saw your wife alive? Dan, do you want medical to look at you
00:00:33
at all? No. Okay. I went to the manufacturer's site, pulled up the specifics about the times
00:00:50
for cycles, and then took that information, and compared that against the time at which the 911 call was
00:00:56
placed. Dan, I need you to take a deep breath for me so we can get people headed to
00:01:03
you. And what do you learn? That it was started within a minute of the 911 call.
00:01:10
Did your son shot himself? [Music] It suggested that he was doing actions like starting laundry and rather than
00:01:23
his claim that he was checking on Candy Howard and and that he was inconsolable and upset, it just it didn't add
00:01:37
up. Nothing about this case felt right from the beginning. So, what happened tonight? Marital
00:01:45
problems. She wants a divorce one day, she doesn't the next. So, she brought home divorce papers, just preliminary
00:01:53
ones. We screw hard, I guess. I had the sense that Dan had a story that he had planned to share with us
00:02:05
that evening. It felt very contrived, almost scripted in a way. Absolutely. Yeah, definitely scripted.
