Case 349
Michael Wallace & David Castor
In 2000, the Wallace family is shattered when patriarch Michael dies of apparent heart disease. Years later, his widow Stacey remarries David Castor. Tragedy strikes again when David is found dead in a pool of his own vomit, apparently the result of suicide. But as inconsistencies begin to surface and investigators take a closer look, attention turns to Stacey herself…
