A LOVER IS SHOT DEAD - WILL A CELL PHONE VIDEO RECORDED IN THE AFTERMATH BE ENOUGH TO CLEAR OR CONVICT?

"48 Hours: Wounded By Love"

Saturday, June 13, 2015, 10:00 PM, ET/PT

A lover is shot dead. Police record a cell phone video in the aftermath. But will the grainy footage be enough to clear or convict a girlfriend? Troy Roberts and 48 HOURS return to the investigation into the death of Phillip Peatross, and what unfolded in his bedroom with girlfriend Caryn Kelley in "Wounded by Love," to be rebroadcast Saturday, June 13 (10:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

The story unfolded in Kelley's Orlando, Fla. home, in the early morning hours after a night where the couple had been drinking. It's a case that involved broken hearts, bombshell secrets and a controversial cell phone video shot by police moments after the death of Peatross.

"I jumped out of bed, grabbed the gun, and heard footsteps coming down the hallway toward my bedroom," Kelley told Roberts. "The gun was cocked because I didn't know who it was, because I felt like it was an intruder."

Kelley told police she then realized the "intruder" was actually her boyfriend, Peatross. Kelley became the only living witness to what happened next. Kelley said there was a struggle for her gun. "And he told me twice, 'I'm not going to live my life without you.' And he shot himself," she told Roberts.

The police had to sort out three scenarios - either Peatross' death was an accident, suicide or murder.

"There's no way that he would have ever killed himself," said Peatross' previous girlfriend, Tamara Lawton. "He wouldn't leave his children. He loved those girls, loved them like I've not probably seen in any father."

Police were leery of Kelley's story. They recorded an interview with her on a cell phone immediately following the shooting. That video became important to the case when police claimed she changed her version of what happened that night a couple of times in later interviews. Famed Orlando chief medical examiner and reality show star Dr. Jan Garavaglia also had doubts about Kelley's version of events.

"If you point a loaded gun at somebody or bring a loaded gun out into the argument, and that gun goes off and kills somebody, that's not an accident," Garavaglia told 48 HOURS. "That's a homicide."

Kelley was arrested and charged with Peatross' murder. But could prosecutors use what they said are Kelley's different versions of the night Peatross died - along with Garavaglia's autopsy findings - to build their case and get a conviction?

Roberts and the 48 HOURS team tell the story through interviews with Kelley, her attorney Diana Tennis, Dr. Garavaglia, Peatross' friends and trial testimony. 48 HOURS: "Wounded by Love" is produced by Paul LaRosa and Michele Feuer.
