Rest of our lives. A perfect life until she disappeared. Imagine you were calling, leaving messages. Calling, texting, and we started wondering. Why would she just leave . I called her Best Friend and said does she have a man . Where would she go . Why did someone she know own her slice of paradise . He got away with murder . He got away with murder. Hello and Hello And Welcome to dateline. It was a tropical hideaway where a group of adventurous americans thought they found paradise. Good times, sunshine, and a relaxed lifestyle. A place where people didnt ask a lot of questions about their neighbors. Until some of those neighbors started to disappear. Here is Kate Snow with Stealing Paradise. Its a dream that seems so out of reach. Quit the rat race, move to an exotic lapped, and buy your very own private island. Even when she was young, she wanted to travel. She wanted to see the world. She made it come true in the most unlikely place. The tiny faraway islands of panama. She would ju
Don t think of them. The pain becomes a part of you. Get everybody out here to my house now. He came home and found her, his entire family gone. I said what are you talking about, what are you saying? it was surreal. As fellow cops suspected him. I did not do this. I did not do this. She was upset. She felt like history is repeating itself. Or police just plain wrong? it s like a twilight zone. Lies become truth and the truth becomes lies. May be the real killer was still out there. You have lied to the police about this case. So devastating. We know that was probably the key to solving this. 13 years of hell. Such an awful crime. The wife, the little boy and girl, shot at pointblank range. I was dumbfounded with shock.

He could have done anything, but he didn t. 13 years, three trials, appeals, reversals and changing stories. The big picture here for a lot of people as i
Thank you for watching im craig melvin, and im natalie morales, and this is dateline. I dont even think i understand what happened. Because you dont want to hear details. That was the worst day of my life that i found out about my mom. A loving couple. A romantic hike. A secluded spot. She was turning to look at the bird. Its like her feet just went out from under her. All of a sudden i hear yelling coming from downstream. There was mrs. Mueller floating face up. A wife falling to her death. Her husband falling apart. He was panicking. He was shaking. Crying. The evidence at the scene makes us believe something entirely different happen. He told me she fell 20 feet. Were the injuries . Why did i not see what i expected to see . A search for the truth in the woods and water. If your theory is right, that is almost like she was being hunted. Its almost like a hare and a wolf. Two chilling accounts of what happened to the mom they all adore. One seemingly unsolvable mystery. If you believ
