Forensic science case

Have you ever been watching T.V. and go to change the channel but you find yourself still watching that particular show? That is what happened to me the other day. I was watching T.V. while getting ready for work and Montel was on. I never watch Montel but ended up watching it. On the show Montel revealed that he was a huge fan on forensic science shows. He showed segments of he's favorite show and a real like forensic science case. The case was about a couple. According to the husband,this was a young couple who went out to eat to celebrate their third wedding anniversary. After the dinner they went for a stroll on the beach. While on the beach, the couple was attacked be a gunman. The wife was shot in the head and killed. The husband was shot four times and lost conscience. When he regained consciences, he dragged himself across the sand to aid his wife. Montel paused the case and asked an audience member what she thought. She thought that the husband was the killer. Montel resumed the case. The husband gave a description on the gunman. With his description, they police was able to draw a sketch and find they man. The alibi of the man was his credit card records proving he was in a different state at the time of the murder.

Something seemed sketchy about the husband. His four gunshots were too perfect. Too perfect in the sense that they did not harm any organs. Was it a coincidence? Also when the went to the scene of the crime, there was more murder weapon. they also noticed something about the wife's body. Around her mouth was residue from the salt water. On top of the residue was blood. If she was shot first and then laying face down in the water, blood would be first then the salt water residue. The police had a warrant to search his house. Once in the house they checked his computer records. In his records it was seen that in the past months, he was searching for gun wounds. The was looking at the best place to be shot and not have any real harm. They was a clear give away. We find out the real story. At dinner, the wife was telling the husband that she wanted a divorce because she found out that he was having an affair and wanted his wife's money. They went on the beach to talk it over more. The wife noticed that he had a gun on him and tried to run way. The grabbed her and try to drown her. Once dead he shot her right in the head (the reason why she has the sea salt and then blood around her mouth). He then shot himself four times specific places. He wanted to killer to get her 2 million dollar life insurance. The case was really interested and showed me how crazy for money people really are.
