In November 1994, Farah Fratta was murdered in her Texas home during a contentious divorce from her husband Bob Fratta, who claimed to have a solid alibi attending church with their children. However, suspicions arose due to inconsistencies in his alibi and revelations about their troubled marriage. The investigation revealed familial tensions and led to Bob being implicated by a key witness, Mary Gipp, who testified that he hired someone to murder Farah. Bob's conviction was later re-examined due to evidentiary issues, resulting in a retrial. The episode explores the emotional impacts on their children, particularly Amber, as they navigate the legacy of their mother's murder and the complexities of their father's guilt.
