In 2010, a silent 911 call from Monica Schmeyer’s Pennsylvania home led police to a shocking discovery: Monica had been murdered.
At first, investigators focused on her ex-husband, but the case fell apart.
Regrouping, the detectives uncovered a chilling connection between a circle of friends, seemingly harmless conversations, and private details about Monica’s life.
The investigation that followed exposed the killer, and revealed how words that seemed insignificant could have devastating consequences.
