Summary
Christina Harris died in her Davison, Michigan home in September 2014 from a heroin overdose. The 36-year-old mother's death was ruled accidental. Her husband Jason Harris collected $120,000 in life insurance, bought a plane ticket to visit another woman nine days later, and moved a new girlfriend into their home two weeks after Christina's funeral. The investigation into Christina's murder took five years before prosecutors could finally charge Jason Harris with first-degree murder.
This is the story of a man who tried to hire multiple people to kill his wife, offering $10,000 from her future life insurance payout. When nobody would take the job, he decided to do it himself. He made her a bowl of cereal one night, and Christina told a coworker that if she ever turned up dead, her husband did it. The evidence that eventually convicted him came from the most unexpected source, and it took a cold case team refusing to let this go to finally get justice for Christina and her two young children.
