0:00.0	When a fire broke out in an apartment in Boise, Idaho in 1992, firefighters did their best to put
0:07.5	out the blaze and save lives. Unfortunately, when the smoke cleared, three bodies were discovered
0:14.3	inside. When fire investigators found evidence that a liquid accelerant was used, their prime suspect
0:22.1	became Robin Rowe.
0:24.3	The victims were her husband and two children, and she was the only person who had anything
0:28.8	to gain from the deaths.
0:31.6	It was bad enough to have a woman kill three people, two being her own children, just so
0:37.0	she could get some money.
0:38.8	But once the investigators started looking into her past, they would realize that those

2:03.9	worker after being accused of stealing money from a neighbor. Robin said that she didn't steal the
2:09.6	money as her neighbor was too nice to steal from. It seems as though she was found guilty
2:15.7	because she's later described as being on probation with a curfew.
2:20.5	Robin had also told the social worker that she'd been sexually assaulted by two boys and got pregnant.
2:27.1	She said she went to New York and had an abortion, but the two boys called her many times with obscene and threatening messages.
2:36.4	That would contrast what she told an investigator in 1992. That time she claimed her grandfather had sexually assaulted her
