Description

On a quiet dirt road in Brackney, Pennsylvania, two best friends went skeet shooting in the woods. One would walk away but the other would not. Martin “Marty” Dillon was a respected attorney, a father, and a husband. That day, after he was shot dead, the tragedy was ruled an accident. But the truth was darker. Marty’s best friend, Dr. Stephen Scher, told the authorities that Marty tripped while chasing a porcupine and his gun went off. And for two decades, they believed him.


Join us today for The Doctor, the Wife, & the Set-Up. Secrets don’t always stay buried forever, in fact, they seem to have a way of coming out eventually. This is especially true when a killer marries his victim’s widow and raises her children as his own. This is a twisted story of betrayal, obsession, and cold-blooded murder hidden in plain sight.
