With no signs of a break-in or injuries, there’s initially little to go on – but as officers dig deeper, it’s clear that things are more fraught than the Baxters’ veneer of suburban bliss might suggest.

Things only get stranger when, combing the Baxters’ phones and laptops for relevant information, DC Kerry Turner unearths communications between Carol and one Dr Andrea Bowden, an American endocrinologist promising to cure her. With her sending multiple emails every day, addressing Carol as “honey” and laying out ever more elaborate regimes, it’s clear that Bowden is no normal doctor – but also, that an increasingly desperate Carol had put more and more of her life in this mysterious stranger’s hands.

Where once, producers had to patch stories together with blurry photos of suspects, bad B-roll, or worse, hokey recreations, today it’s increasingly possible to stitch together jaw-dropping raw material and watch an investigation unfold in real time.

When toxicology eventually reveals fatal doses of fentanyl in both Carol and Steven’s systems, the investigation becomes a double homicide – and then, when an ersatz document naming Ellena and family friend Luke D’Wit as the beneficiaries of the Baxters’ estate is found in the house, it gets its first clear suspects.
