Forensic Files II: Season 1, Episode 1

1 - 1: Buried Secrets

In 2009, police officers and firefighters in Stow, Ohio report to the scene of a suspicious house fire. All of the home's occupants escaped without harm, but resident Scott Purk alerted police suspicion by bringing up the death of his first wife Margaret, who supposedly committed suicide in 1985. After exhuming Margaret's body, the examination showed that she did not hang herself, but that she was strangled, leaving Scott Purk accused of arson, insurance fraud, and murder.
