Oxygen True Crime’s Accident, Suicide or Murder often presents cases where the simplest explanation isn’t always the correct one. This week’s episode, “Double Jeopardy,” tackles a particularly murky case: the death of a woman found drowned in her bathtub. Initially, the circumstances point towards a tragic suicide, given her history of a previous attempt. The case, however, takes a sharp turn when her husband later confesses to the murder of his second wife. Suddenly, the seemingly open-and-shut case of the first wife’s death becomes anything but. Did grief and guilt drive this confession, or did something far more sinister occur years earlier?
This new development forces investigators to revisit the initial drowning. Was it a tragic cry for help that went unanswered, or was it a meticulously disguised homicide? The husband’s confession regarding his second wife throws a dark shadow over his past, raising uncomfortable questions about his potential involvement in his first wife’s demise. Now, investigators must meticulously re-examine the evidence, searching for missed clues and overlooked details that might connect the two deaths.
