They would later discover that the fire had not been the cause of her death - police instead found Hibbs had been stabbed multiple times. Who would want to kill Joy? The children were terrified that the killer would come back for them. Joy's husband lived under the shadow of being the main suspect. For 20 years the case went cold. Then, a dedicated son got the cold case reopened, vowing, "I was not afraid to set the whole town on fire" to finally find the killer.

At dawn, Melissa Oxley wakes up for work and finds herself in a nightmare: her husband, 36-year-old Ben Oxley - a native Hawaiian and accomplished water sports athlete - has been shot in the head while sleeping beside her. Melissa claims she never heard the gunshot. How could she not have heard the murder that happened inches away? Investigators found Melissa's teenage brother, Craig, and Ben's six-year-old daughter from a previous marriage, Alyssa, sound asleep. Investigators find a case built on silence, suspicion and a truth still buried.
