Summary

On November 7th, 2007, 33-year-old Lina Kaufman was found dead in her Florida home on the bathroom floor. Her husband, Adam Kaufman, called 911 while trying to revive her. Seventeen months passed with no answers for the cause of her death, until Adam was suddenly arrested and charged with second-degree murder. At first, medical experts pointed to physical evidence of strangulation, while Adam’s defense attorneys speculated about an allergic reaction to a spray tan. Yet unbeknownst to either side, the truth was hidden much deeper than they could see initially. 48 Hours correspondent Erin Moriarty takes you inside the investigation of Adam Kaufman on her podcast, My Life of Crime. Based on the 48 Hours investigation, “Lina’s Heart”.
