Summary
On July 23rd, 2013, Tiffany Mead agreed to meet her estranged husband, Kristopher Ertmann, at a park in Davis County, Utah to collect a child support payment. Instead, prosecutors say he ambushed her, slitting her throat and forcing her to tell 911 she had tried to harm herself. Miraculously, Tiffany survived -and once she was able to speak, she told investigators what really happened that day. But as the case moved forward, authorities would uncover an even more disturbing plan that suggested the danger was far from over.
