(Part 1 of 2) The thought of marriage can be overwhelming…Even if you’re sure you’ve met the man or woman of your dreams, it’s a commitment that should never be taken lightly. You’ve got to be careful when choosing a forever partner…because a lot of people aren’t exactly who they say they are. 27-year-old Nicholas Firkus seemed like an innocent church goer - right alongside his wife Heidi. But after a black man wearing a hooded sweatshirt broke into their St. Paul, MN home, authorities eventually began looking at the husband as a suspect, after a home invasion turned deadly.
Written by Michael Dunphy Jr., Executive Produced by Michael Ojibway.
