The Investigators gain new insight into the post-mortem interrogation report of Calvin Berry's defibrillator directly from a heart failure expert who examined it. Her interpretation of the report and her opinion concerning his defibrillator's activity, offers even more compelling evidence to contradict what detectives have reported to Calvin's family.

After 58-year-old Calvin Berry is found dead in the canal behind his home, his time of death and cause of death become a points of contention. Was the medical examiner correct when he ruled his death an accidental drowning or does medical evidence from his defibrillator and his autopsy disprove this ruling? The Investigators dive deep to examine the discrepancies between the medical examiner's findings and those of independent experts.

Once inside the home, Smith shot the teens separately, 10 minutes apart, as they each walked down the stairs to the basement.
