Summary

42-year-old Betsy Faria went for chemotherapy treatment on Tuesday afternoon of December 287h 2011. Her husband, Russ, had gone to a friend’s house, but when he arrived home later that night, he found Betsy dead in the living room. But it was not cancer that had killed her. The scene in the living was a bloody one and Russ assumed that she had taken her own life. He called 911, hysterical, distraught. But police felt he was the one responsible for his wife’s death and he was convicted of her murder. Betsy’s family supported the police’s point of view and knew that Russ was the only one who could have done this to Betsy. Or was he?
