The Case of the Secret Under the Tarp

About this episode

This episode details the murder of Crystalin Robertson by her husband, Christopher Robertson, who resided with her decomposing body for over two weeks in their Fort Worth home. The crime was uncovered when Christopher's brother returned from a trip, noticed a foul odor, and discovered the victim wrapped in a plastic sheet. Police found Christopher in a state of extreme intoxication, rendering him initially incoherent and unable to be questioned. During subsequent interrogations, Christopher confessed to shooting his wife in the face following financial disputes and marital tension. Evidence revealed he had purchased a saw and tarp to potentially dispose of the remains before his eventual arrest. Ultimately, Christopher received a 50-year prison sentence for the homicide in 2025.
