The Estate

Within days after Tony Virgilio’s murder, police established a theory and a motive: Calvin and Rosalio hired someone to kill Tony. And they did it for money. With Tony dead, they had a chance to collect on what today would be a 1 million dollar insurance payout. Suspiciously, that theory benefits certain parties, from the prosecution to the insurance company.

Alex receives a box of documents from Calvin and in there he finds Tony Virgilio’s dying declaration. When Tony names Calvin and Rosalio as the culprits, they become the police’s prime suspects. But to this day, Calvin maintains his and Rosalio’s innocence. Then, who killed Tony Virgilio? In this episode, we delve into those the police might have overlooked.
