Summary
From the outside, Amanda Perrault and her husband Seth, a police officer, seemed like a picture-perfect family. They had a beautiful home in Georgia and were raising a young daughter together. But behind closed doors, Amanda alleged she saw a different, and abusive, side of Seth. What happens when a toxic relationship turns deadly, especially at the hands of someone who is supposed to serve and protect? Correspondent Anne-Marie Green and Producer Judy Rybak discuss crossing the thin blue line, a questionable note left behind at the crime scene, the shocking report from the medical examiner ruling Amanda’s death a suicide and if this would be enough to find Seth innocent at trial.
