This episode examines the investigation of Matthew Ecker, a married man convicted of murdering his secret girlfriend, Alex Pennig. Although Ecker initially told police that Pennig died by suicide behind a locked bathroom door, forensic evidence regarding blood spatter and the physical state of the scene quickly contradicted his claims. Investigators noted a complete absence of blood on Ecker’s person despite his claims of providing medical aid, and they discovered a broken door lock underneath the victim's body. The narrative also includes the reaction of the victim’s actual boyfriend, whose testimony helped detectives piece together the events following a bar confrontation. Ultimately, a jury rejected Ecker’s version of events, resulting in a thirty-year prison sentence for the former nurse practitioner.
