41-year-old Christopher Collins himself reported to the police that criminals broke into their house and killed his wife. The man called the police home after his wife allegedly sent him a message stating that unknown persons were watching her near their house. Christopher himself was at the gym at that time.

However, when considering the case, law enforcement officers established that it was the husband of a 46-year-old woman who could be involved in the murder. Two days before the incident, they together issued and signed a life insurance policy for $ 250 thousand.

The forensic medical examination established that the woman died from a bullet wound to the head. Law enforcement officers found a 22-mm cartridge from a weapon in Christopher's pocket.
