20 year-old Kristie Gunderson Lee was a young wife, and new mom living in Pompano Beach, Florida in 1994. She was a friendly and popular hairdresser who was not known to have enemies, but on March 31st of that year, she died a violent death in her apartment. She was bludgeoned and strangled to death. Initially, it seemed like a burglary gone wrong, but police ruled that out and instead investigated the murder as a crime of passion. As in most cases involving a crime of passion, detectives looked closely at Kristie's husband Jeff Lee, but learned early on that he was at work when the murder happened and had an air tight alibi. Police quickly turned their suspicion to Kristie's in-laws, Kay and Joe Petralia, who had discovered Kristie's body and called 911.

Thomas Clancy Sr was a proud and decorated WW2 veteran who became a successful businessman in Dallas, Texas when he moved there with his large family in the 1960s. Thomas and his wife of 35 years divorced, and he found himself re-married a couple years later. But Thomas's second marriage appeared to be falling apart, and was on the verge of divorce. In November 1983, Thomas was also dealing with a very sick daughter who was hospitalized and not expected to pull through. He wanted to be by her side, and that's why his family became so worried after the 60 year old failed to show up at the hospital after a few days. They scrambled to call around and find him. They learned that his second wife had confronted him and a female co worker at a bar and that she had threatened to kill the co worker. When Thomas left the bar that night, he was never seen again. Just days later, Thomas Clancy Sr's Cadillac was located across from the bar he was last seen at by his son. His body was found inside the trunk. He had been shot to death.
