The Fred Roehler case centers on the 1981 deaths of Verna Roehler and her son, Douglas Johnson, who drowned during a boating trip near the Channel Islands, California. Initially deemed an accident, suspicions arose due to inconsistencies in Fred Roehler's account and the discovery of head injuries on the victims. Investigations revealed substantial life insurance policies taken out by Roehler shortly before their deaths, providing a clear financial motive.

The subsequent trial featured expert testimony that challenged Roehler's version of events, particularly regarding the likelihood of the boat capsizing and the nature of the victims' injuries. Despite circumstantial evidence, the jury found Fred Roehler guilty of first-degree murder, and he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The case also brought to light the suspicious death of Roehler's first wife, further fueling the prosecution's narrative of a man driven by financial gain.

On January 13, 1982, Air Florida Flight 90 crashed into the Potomac River shortly after takeoff from Washington National Airport. The Boeing 737-200, bound for Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with a stop in Tampa, encountered difficulties during its ascent. The plane struck the 14th Street Bridge, a busy thoroughfare connecting Virginia and D.C., before plunging into the icy river. Of the 79 people on board, 74 perished in the crash, along with four motorists on the bridge.

The scene played out on national television with camera crews capturing the remarkable rescue of survivors from every day heroes and skilled helicopter pilots.

The National Transportation Safety Board concluded that the probable cause of the accident was the flight crew's failure to activate the plane's anti-icing system, leading to a reduction in aerodynamic lift due to accumulated ice and snow.

David Paul, a prominent figure in the 1980s savings and loan crisis, was the head of CenTrust, a major financial institution in Florida. In 1990, federal regulators seized CenTrust Tower due to the bank's unsound financial condition, reporting significant losses. Paul was accused of draining millions from the failing institution, using the funds for personal expenses like life insurance premiums and lawn maintenance.

Paul faced two separate trials. In 1993, he was convicted on federal fraud charges for misusing company funds and faced a potential 350 years in prison. However, in 1994, he pleaded guilty to 29 criminal charges, admitting to stealing $24 million from CenTrust and concealing its financial problems from regulators. Despite his crimes, Paul was released from prison in 2004 and passed away in January 2022 at the age of 82.
