The Wetsuit Smoking Gun
-
- Crímenes reales
Wetsuits. We all know how they work in theory. By trapping a thin layer of water between the suit and the wearer’s skin, it allows you to stay warm underwater. But get too many holes in them and they’ll start to leak…sometimes more than just water. One wetsuit owner was left metaphorically high and dry by his swimwear when it proved to be the smoking gun that connected him with the murder of his fourth wife. In July 1991, Cynthia Baumgartner died during a family trip to Lake Sammamish in King County, Washington. Her husband said she drowned in a tragic accident…one he couldn’t prevent because he wasn’t a strong enough swimmer. Today he’s in prison…brought down by a neoprene suit.
