Love Marry Kill Tina and Rich

On the night of May 19, 1983, Diane Downs and her three children, Christie, 8, Cheryl, 7, and Danny, 3, were shot on a rural road outside of Springfield, Oregon. Cheryl died from her injuries. Christie and Danny were gravely injured. Diane suffered non-life threatening wounds to her left arm. She claimed a bushy-haired stranger had shot them. A man-hunt came up empty for the shooter. Suspicion quickly landed on Diane partly because of her lack of emotion.  She had a history of messy affairs and entanglements -- most recently with a married man named Knick Knickerbocker. Diane and Knick met at the post office where they both worked. Knick had been in love with Diane but was adamant that he had no interest in being a father.

Sheri Coleman, 31, and her two sons, Garrett, 11, and Gavin, 9, were found brutally murdered in their home in Columbia, Illinois on the morning of May 5, 2009. Chris Coleman, 32, Sheri’s husband and the boys father, worked as televangelist Joyce Meyer’s head of security. He’d been receiving threatening messages from an unknown source warning him his family would be killed if he didn’t quit his job with the ministry. As the investigation unfolded, investigators learned that Chris Coleman was having an extramarital affair with his wife’s high school best friend, Tara. Was Chris’ family murdered by an unknown intruder or was it an elaborately planned scheme to start a new life?

On September 25th, 1993, 31-year-old nightclub owner Robert O’Dubaine was shot and killed in cold blood in the garage of his Chicago home. Investigators first believed it to be a random carjacking, but as they delved deeper they realized this was a targeted killing. As they uncovered more about Robert’s relationship with his girlfriend, Catherine Suh, and her brother Andrew, a picture emerged of past sins and a sense of family duty that ultimately led to Robert’s demise.
