“The Silhouette.” 2015. Debbie worked hard and got everything she ever wanted. The husband, the job and the house. It was after 4:00 a.m. “Lars” called 911 Emergency and claimed that Debbie was shot dead. He told police that he thought she was an intruder. It was pitch black in their bedroom and he had a shot gun. They were a happily married couple. He claimed to all family members that it was an accident. They accepted that at his word. Police investigators believed otherwise when Lars failed several questions in a polygraph test. They also couldn’t believe that the bedroom was that dark for him to not recognize his own wife.
