When Selina Vercruysse was burned alive in what would become known as the "Mason Torch Murder," her husband of 20+ years claimed it was a horrible accident. But before she died, Selina told officials a very different story. Yolanda Perna was just 27 years old when she was gunned down in the Lansing apartment she shared with her husband and their two young children above the grocery store they owned and operated. Her husband insisted it was an accident- that his wife was shot by mistake- TWICE. Locals believed something else entirely. "The husband did it," that's usually true. It's the "why" that can sometimes be complicated. 

Cases: Mason Torch Murder, Jolly Superette Murder
