Summary

In 2011, Linda Kolman was involved in a love triangle with her husband and her husband’s best friend. What started out as an affair turned into a knowing and consensual… almost competition. The two men were still friendly, but each wanted Linda to choose him. One day when Tom, Linda’s husband, didn’t turn up for work, and was later found dead in his car, alarm bells started ringing.

Hello everyone and welcome back. I'm so happy to have you here with me today to discuss yet

0:11.6

another case. And if you're new and welcome, be sure to subscribe. So today we're going

0:19.2

to be talking about a case that is still unsolved to this day. And I think you guys

0:24.9

are going to have very mixed opinions on it. I can't even decide what I fully think. So

0:30.9

I definitely want to hear from all of you. But anyway, let's get started talking about

0:35.6

the suspicious death of Tom Coleman. So he was born on March 22nd, 1967 to his parents

0:43.2

Marie and Thomas Sr. in Queens, New York. And to be honest, there isn't much information

0:48.8

available about his early life. I was able to learn that he had two brothers Kenneth

0:52.8

and Robert and one sister named Wendy and that he was a massive fan of the New York

1:20.6

a physical therapist in Socrates, New York. But sometimes life just doesn't go as planned.

1:26.4

And that was the case for Tom and Michelle. I'm not sure exactly how far into their marriage,

1:31.0

the two decided to end things, but eventually Tom's children went and lived with Michelle

1:36.6

in Colorado. And he stayed in Socrates. But Tom did try to keep as much of a relationship

1:41.9

with his kids as possible. He would talk to them pretty much daily, if not every week

1:47.0

at least. And as the years went on, Tom began dating again. And eventually he met a woman

1:52.2

named Linda, who was also divorced and had a child from her first marriage. And it didn't

1:57.5

take long for the two of them to fall in love. And eventually the two of them decided to
