Summary
Correspondent Jamie Yuccas and producers Asena Basak and Jordan Kinsey discuss theories of whether Heidi Firkus' death was an unfortunate accident or an intentional murder. Minnesota couple Heidi and Nick Firkus frantically called 9-1-1 to report a break-in at their home. A gunshot was heard over the phone and Heidi was killed. Nick claimed the intruder shot Heidi, but prosecutors believed he staged his wife’s murder to cover up their home foreclosure.
