Appearances

Fatal Beauty | 2. An Open Secret
At the crime scene, my first impression was pretty much that it was a suicide. The gun was in her hand. She had what appeared to be a contact wound to the head.

There was no appearance of being robbed or there being any other violence other than the gunshot wound to the head. So it's like she pulled up in there, you know, in her car and put the gun to her head and shot herself.

We told them what we had found, and that's probably the first time we heard Sandra Bridewell's name. As the process went on, they had more suspicions about her involvement.

She didn't provide us any information that would implicate her.

The gun was in her hand, contact wound to the temple, blood spatter on her hand. You know, I was pretty sure it's going to get ruled a suicide case.

Detective Coughlin told Dr. Bagwell, The only way I could overturn it would be to come up with evidence showing that it wasn't a suicide.

The family didn't want to accept any of that. I mean, it really all comes down to evidence.

We tried to take our time and look longer and see if we could ever tie anything up on that. Never could.
