Summary

In December of 2007, a 38-year-old woman was found dead in her Virginia home next to a gun and a typed letter that, at first glance, appeared to be a suicide note. But investigators began to raise questions about the scene she left behind, including whether her body had been moved after her death. If it wasn’t a suicide, then what really happened to her? And who had done it? There were two different people in her life with potential motive, but one of them had far more damning notes to prove their guilt…. This is the murder of Jocelyn Earnest.
