The episode details the criminal investigation into Susan Michelle Perry, a North Carolina woman accused of murdering her husband and staging it as a suicide. While the 2025 death of Robert "Joe" Perry was initially reported by his wife as a self-inflicted gunshot wound, local authorities uncovered incriminating digital evidence that contradicted her story. Forensic analysis of Susan’s Google search history revealed premeditated interests in lethal shooting techniques, the value of her husband's jewelry, and financial concerns regarding a potential divorce. Confronted with these findings, she eventually claimed the weapon discharged during a physical struggle, leading to her arrest for first-degree murder. This case serves as a modern example of how electronic footprints and data transparency can dismantle fabricated narratives in domestic homicide cases. Through police affidavits and court records, the sources examine the collapse of a long-term marriage and the pivotal role technology plays in the pursuit of justice.
