Summary

A small town in North Dakota, about 15 minutes outside of Bismarck lived the Entzel family. The family was described as “the perfect family”. Chad, the father, was a successful engineer, his wife Nikki, a talented and successful baker and their two well-educated children. So it was shocking when in January of 2020, Chad was found shot to death with a shotgun and his body badly burnt from a fire that randomly started in the home. Ironically, Nikki and her kids weren’t in the home during the fire. But police would later uncover the gruesome details of Chads death when 2 days later, Nikki tries to collect 600K dollars of Chads life insurance and attempts to run away with her secret lover she’d been having an affair with for the past year.
