0:01 In a snowy county in Minnesota. In nineteen ninety three, a beloved elderly woman named Pearl died. The police investigated and quickly cleared it as an accident death in a fire, but her neighbor Jill, was absolutely convinced this was a murder. She spent the past thirty two years trying to prove it. She told me that she was up baking and she had a heart attack, and once she fell, her clothing caught fire. Jill was just sobbing, just sobbing, and she said that it should have been me, It should have been me. Who were the men Jill believed broke into Pearl's home? And she says, I know exactly who that was. She said her ex husband sent them up here to take care of her.

0:46 I never confronted him. I knew my place. He's not one that you were going to argue with. He had control over everybody. Did Pearl die in an accidental fire? Or was a fire set by her killers to hide their crime? And I can see one guy walking with a look like a shotgun, and the other guy had more gun at all. My life after them was no longer sake.
