About this episode
The episode discusses the cold case of Deborah Atrops' murder and the new evidence against her estranged husband, Robert Atrops.
When 30-year-old Deborah Atrops was found strangled in the trunk of her car in 1988, suspicion quickly turned to her estranged husband, but the case went cold for more than three decades. Now, with new forensic soil analysis, advanced DNA testing, and long-questioned phone records, prosecutors believe they finally have the evidence to prove Robert Atrops committed murder.
