Summary[]
In 2008, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina resident Fred Engel disappears while checking his mail outside his upscale condominium. His body is found in nearby woods, and autopsy results reveal he was strangled to death.
There are a few initial suspects in the investigation, but none of those leads pan out. However, when investigators turn to mobile device forensics, the evidence leads to Fred's wife Sherry Engel and her secret lover as the prime suspects.
