On the evening of April 7th, 2006, Matt Baker, a Baptist preacher from the small town of Hewitt, Texas, goes out to get gas and rent a movie for the night. When he returns home, he finds his wife, Kari Baker, dead in bed with a suicide note nearby. Local authorities rule it a suicide and the case is closed. But Linda Dulin, Kari's mother, and her family don't believe it and hire attorney Bill Johnston and his team of investigators to look into the circumstances of Kari's death. Matt maintains he had nothing to do with Kari's death, even as his story seems to unravel. Based on the 48 Hours investigation, “Dirty Little Secrets”.
