He was a popular Florida State University professor who had no real enemies. He had just gotten a divorce from Wendi Adelson who both were fighting over custody of their kids. Over the next year. Police investigators recorded the phone calls of Daniel's family and friends. What they found was a plot to kill Daniel for Wendi. Did she pay someone to kill him? Or did someone do it for her without Wendi knowing? Who was arrested? 

(Note: This is my favorite episode this TV season. Even though it is a repeat. It's intriguing and a deep, deep mystery).
