Inna Budnytska was living temporarily in a Miami hotel when, on February 21, 2005, she was found dumped on the side of the road, viciously beaten, raped, and left for dead.

Stacey Castor seemed to be in a panic when she called the police to report that her husband, David Castor, didn't make it into work. She told them he'd been feeling depressed, and was concerned it was suicide. Police went to the Castor home and discovered David's body on his bed, dead from antifreeze poisoning. Based on Stacey's comments, they were primed to label it a suicide and call it a day. But one detective wasn't so sure, especially when he learned Stacey's first husband was also dead...
