Unbelievable: Victoria Cilliers
Falling from 4,000 feet with two failed parachutes, Victoria Cilliers defied death in a terrifying skydiving accident—but what she didn’t know was that this wasn’t an accident at all. Her husband, Emile, had allegedly tampered with her equipment, setting off an investigation that uncovered a dark web of secrets: affairs, mounting debts, and a life insurance policy that made her worth more to him dead than alive. As detectives unraveled the chilling details, they faced an unexpected twist—Victoria's own testimony in Emile’s defense. Tune in as we explore a harrowing tale of betrayal, survival, and manipulation in this unforgettable case.
