In 2006, Michelle Young was a 29 year old beloved wife and mother with an adorable toddler and another baby soon on the way.

All of that came to a sudden end In the early morning hours of November 3rd, 2006 when an intruder brutally strangled Michelle and bludgeoned her to death. Her grieving husband was out of town when her broken body was found the next day by her sister, Meredith Fischer. While calling 911, Meredith was startled to discover her 2 year old niece, hiding under the covers next to her mother's dead body. Leaving behind a tiny trail of toddler sized bloody footprints that told their own story. Could Michelle's husband be responsible for this horrific crime?
