Motive and Intent - The Murder of Maria Muñoz

Love, betrayal, and deception. This week of Crime Salad, we will explore the case surrounding the death of Maria Muñoz, which first appeared to be a suicide, but suspicions quickly rose and those suspicions pointed to her husband, Joel Pellot. As Maria pours her heart and soul into her roles as a mother and wife, Joel's attention strays to another woman, leading to a tragic and mysterious turn of events. With the threat of divorce looming over them, the question remains: what extreme measures will Joel take to avoid a costly divorce?
