On the day of Bob's death, Diane speaks with a female detective and sort of opens up to her and she says, look, don't take this as a confession, but this same thing happened to my dad. And here's what she means. When Diane was 26 years old, so about two decades prior, her father was working as a St. Louis police officer.

But on the morning of April 6th, 1984, at around 2.30 a.m., her mother dials 911 and claims someone broke into the house, stole his gun, and shot him to death. Now when police get to the house, they find Diane's mother, Lenore. She has no tears, her hair is fully done, and when police question her, she's casually smoking a cigarette. She has no emotion.

Sounds a little familiar. Well, Lenore tells the police there's been a man following them lately and he's been leaving notes at the house, including one on the night Diane's father died that said, this is for what you did to me. But as police really get into their investigation, they learned there was no forced entry into the home.

The door to the garage where Lenore said the man broke in was deadbolted shut, among many other clues. And eventually it was Lenore, Diane's mother, who was charged with murdering her husband, Diane's father. So you can kind of see why Diane mentions this to police, because it would be suspicious if she didn't say, hey, my mom was arrested and charged for shooting my dad in the face.

And now my husband has been shot in the face.

So the similarities are a little glaring, especially when they hear that Bob was scared to death of Lenore. That's his mother-in-law, particularly because she was actually waiting in their home as she awaited trial. And rightfully so. I mean, he had an accused murderer sleeping under the same roof as him. So Bob was always locking their bedroom door.

He was afraid to be alone in the house with his mother-in-law. But in a pretty shocking turn of events, Lenore was actually found not guilty by a jury and she was acquitted for that crime.

I'm not sure how this entire thing affected Bob and Diane's marriage, but the verdict probably didn't put him at ease and it unfortunately wasn't giving police any confidence in Diane either. So the next time the police speak with Diane, they ask her, hey, why don't you just take a polygraph test so we can clear your name?
