There are a lot of these cases that are out there where all you need is for somebody to just

When we do an investigation like this, you know, there's a lot of things we can learn.

Grab those phone records, look through them, start piecing things together.

I'm Scott Weinberger, investigative journalist and former deputy sheriff.

I'm Anna Sige-Nikolazi, former New York City homicide prosecutor and host of investigation

Before we even get to today's story, we want to just talk a little bit about the general

subject matter that it relates to, and that is buying a home.
