There was a broken window at a crime scene and police didn't log it. When Rowena Zapple's sister walked into the

apartment, she immediately saw signs that there may be more to the investigation in Rowena's death. There

was glass on the floor from a broken kitchen window. Pennies were scattered all about and there was a fingernail

00:00:21

that had blood on it. But the case file, it doesn't mention any of that. Instead,

the report says that there are no signs of forced entry. But Rowena's door didn't even lock. And again, the window

was broken. So if you were the investigator, would you close this case in a single day as a suicide?
