00:01:28
[Music] it started back on Valentine's Day 2006 she was a beautiful blond-haired
00:01:36
blue-eyed woman thin perfect face face for TV she had beautiful children and then this
00:01:45
happens Curtis took the three oldest children to school they left the youngest the four-year-old there and
00:01:52
every morning he went into Cory's bedroom to watch cartoons with her went in and he said that he said her name but
00:01:57
she didn't answer so he went to stand straight at the top of the stairs sat and waited for his dad
00:02:04
to get home the four-year-old told his dad that he couldn't wake his mom up Curtis went upstairs found Cory
00:02:12
dead they had an inquest and it all came back in conclusive and it was just they
00:02:18
they closed the case so the case was officially closed oh absolutely yes were there any signs
00:02:25
of a struggle in looking at the autopsy photos it it it clearly looks like there
00:02:30
irritation around under her nose and around her mouth was there a whispering in the community of geez did he do it
00:02:37
absolutely there was yeah there were rumors that uh he had poisoned her that somebody was saying oh I've known that
00:02:43
he had murdered her all along people knew that their marriage was Rocky it was volatile the case sat there for 8 years
00:02:51
uh until a detective came and wanted to uh you know give a fresh look at the case and the theory was that Cory had
00:02:59
been suffocated this was something that was not explored previously according to
00:03:05
the latest pathologist the scientific evidence said she'd been dead 10 to 12 hours and according to the police report
00:03:11
the three oldest children saw their mother the morning she died one said that she was in the kitchen another one
00:03:18
said they were on the stairs you either need to believe the Pathologists who say
00:03:23
that she was suffocated or you're going to believe the children that they saw their mother alive that morning
00:03:37
