About this episode
2018 - Rome, Maine.
In August of 2018 in Rome, Maine, Shane Cheetham confronted his wife about poisoning his dog, and in the heat of an argument (according to her), put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. Later that evening, Shane passed away at a hospital in Portland, Maine.
According to the people at the scene, this is an open and shut case of suicide. According to police reports, this case should be closed. But when you look at the details, and when you dig into the events of the evening, not everything adds up... and the family has questions.
This is the story of Shane Cheetham, told through his sister, mother, and daughter.
