#324 - It was supposed to be a normal night for 78-year-old Shirley Ramey and her husband of 57 years, Daryl, from Hope, Idaho. Daryl went to play cards with friends while Shirley stayed inside at their quiet home near the Canadian border. But when Daryl returned home that evening with a bacon cheeseburger she had asked for, he found the sliding glass door open and Shirley lying on the floor in a pool of blood. His wife of nearly six decades had been shot twice at close range.

But just when the police thought they had everything figured out, the case went ice-cold.

Who would want a 78-year-old wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother dead?
