The binge.

There's a little lie we like to tell ourselves. A consolement if you will. That people like you and me, nice people. Never find ourselves in the crosshairs of a murderous plot. Truth is, even nice guys cross paths with people who want them out of the picture. Nice guys like Fabio Sementilli. West of West Hollywood, on a quiet street in Woodland Hills, police arrive at the home of Fabio Sementilli on 23 January 2017. Just hours earlier, Fabio was sitting in his favorite chair but the poolside like he often did since he moved from Canada to pursue his career in Hollywood around seven years ago. But today was different than all those other days. When his daughter came home, she found him in that chair, stabbed multiple times. A few hours later, Detective Ryan Verna arrives.

There's blood in the kitchen area, on the floors, in the kitchen sink. As you walk into the kitchen, you could clearly see through the windows and through that door that there was a body in the backyard and large amounts of blood.

Detective Verna and his partner Gene Pershall are there to ask some questions. Fabio's house is cordoned off with crime scene tape. So they meet Fabio's wife Monica at the next door neighbor's house.

Monica. Monica, Hello. I'm tech partials. My partner Detective Verna. Very sorry and we have to meet like this. Okay, but we need to talk first.

Monica is visibly upset. She can't seem to catch her breath. The weight of this moment seems to be overwhelming her. Could this actually be happening? 6:30 moving.
