The source provides a comprehensive narrative surrounding the 2010 murder of Heidi Firkus in St. Paul, Minnesota, initially staged as a fatal home invasion. The text details the immediate aftermath of the shooting, including the 911 calls made by Heidi and her husband, Nick Firkus, who claimed an intruder shot them both. Over the following decade, the narrative explains how investigators gradually uncovered Nick Firkus's elaborate web of financial deceit and massive debt, which served as the underlying motive for his wife's murder. The material further chronicles the cold case revival, the crucial cooperation of Nick’s second wife, and the ultimate 2022 trial where forensic evidence and testimony exposed the murder as a calculated execution, leading to Nick's conviction for first- and second-degree murder and a sentence of life without parole.
